MADISON, Wisconsin– Tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced a cash giveaway for Wisconsin voters who sign a petition opposing what he calls “activist judges,” drawing both scrutiny and support just days before the state’s crucial Supreme Court election.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, revealed his initiative through social media, offering monetary incentives to voters who participate.
Musk, known for his vocal political opinions, has aligned himself with former President Donald Trump, who has criticized judicial rulings he perceives as hindrances to his political agenda.
Critics argue that Musk’s cash giveaway raises ethical concerns, warning that financial incentives could undermine electoral integrity.
They caution that such actions could set a precedent where monetary influence plays a direct role in voter participation.
Supporters, however, see Musk’s initiative as a form of political engagement, arguing that it encourages voter participation in an election with far-reaching consequences.
