Musk to Campaign in Wisconsin Ahead of Critical State Court Election
Elon Musk is heading back to the campaign trail.
Mr. Musk, the Republican megadonor, said early Friday that he would be going to Wisconsin, apparently to campaign for the conservative candidate in a high-profile judicial contest. The visit, two days before the vote on Tuesday, appears to be his most direct engagement in the State Supreme Court election, which is being watched closely as a test of Mr. Musk’s influence.
Mr. Musk will deliver remarks in the state on Sunday evening, he said on X, without releasing other details. Nor did he mention the candidate, Brad Schimel, by name, saying simply that he would “give a talk in Wisconsin.”
Mr. Musk is reprising a few of the tactics he used in the final weeks of the presidential election, when he traveled across Pennsylvania to assist Donald J. Trump’s campaign with a series of town halls. He is once again issuing personal checks to those who sign a petition that his super PAC is circulating to registered voters and awarding $1 million randomly in sweepstakes-like gifts to signers. (Mr. Musk’s latest petition in Wisconsin is opposed to what he calls “the actions of activist judges.”)
