Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul has filed a lawsuit to stop Elon Musk from giving $2 million to voters ahead of the state’s Supreme Court election, calling it a violation of state election laws.
The attorney general of the U.S. state of Wisconsin has sued Elon Musk to block a $2 million voter giveaway ahead of a pivotal state Supreme Court election.
In the complaint, Josh Kaul called the offer an “egregious attempt to buy votes” and accused Musk and his political action committee of violating Wisconsin election laws.
With the retirement of a liberal justice, the April 1 election will determine whether Wisconsin’s highest court shifts to a conservative majority or retains its liberal tilt.
Late Thursday, Musk announced plans to hold a rally in Wisconsin, where he said he would personally award $1 million each to two voters who had already cast ballots as a show of appreciation.
Wisconsin law explicitly prohibits offering anything of value in exchange for voting, prompting immediate backlash and multiple legal complaints.
In response, Musk deleted the post and later issued a revised statement, saying entry to the event would be limited to those who signed a petition opposing activist judges. He added that he would award $1 million checks to two people selected to serve as spokespeople for the petition.
On Friday, Kaul asked the circuit court to issue an emergency injunction to block the payments, calling them a “blatant attempt to violate” the state’s anti-bribery statute.
Officials also objected to Musk’s political action committee, America First, offering $100 to any registered Wisconsin voter who signed or shared the petition opposing activist judges.
