As Musk pours millions into Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Tesla files case that could reach justices

Billionaire Elon Musk is pouring millions of dollars into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race as his electric vehicle company wages a legal fight that could reach the state’s high court.

A political action committee created by Musk has spent more than $2.5 million on digital advertising, printed brochures and canvassing efforts in the race, according to a regulatory filing that included payments made between Feb. 19 and Feb. 26.

A conservative nonprofit that the Tesla CEO has contributed to in the past also spent $1.6 million on TV ads, the Associated Press reported.

Musk is backing Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate in the race and former state attorney general. The April 1 election pits Schimel against Dane County Judge Susan Crawford, the liberal candidate in the race.
