Musk flexes influence as Wisconsin Supreme Court race smashes spending records

CNN — Campaign spending has smashed records in Wisconsin’s high-stakes Supreme Court race, as megadonors from both parties are directing millions to the closely watched election that’s set to decide ideological control of the battleground state’s high court. And tech billionaire Elon Musk is flexing his growing political influence after his key supporting role in President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Musk announced Friday that he would travel to Wisconsin for an event on Sunday naming the winners of million-dollar giveaways orchestrated by his super PAC, reprising a controversial tactic he used in last year’s election. His personal contributions and spending by groups that he’s funded in the past total more than $20 million for the Tuesday, April 1 race, so far.

Elon Musk has the most to lose if Democrats gain any power. I hope he can outspend George Soros and the other WEF Billionaires.

A Democratic billionaire bought the last Supreme Court justice race in Wisconsin. They spent $1 million in the Republican primary to get the Republican candidate they thought they could most easily defeat.

Then they spent multiple millions to elect the far left supreme court justice to flip the court.

This time, Elon Musk is making the race competitive. The Conservative, Brad Schimel, in this race appears to be a good candidate.

So after Soros and the rats dumped 25 million into this race they CNN said not a damn thing about that. Elon tries to counter it a bit and oh no this is terrible.

Then there’s that issue of Vote Fraud:

“Election Watchdog Uncovers Nearly 5,000 Potentially Illegal Voter Registrations in Milwaukee Ahead of Crucial Wisconsin Elections”

The findings are nothing short of alarming:

2,926 registrations listed incorrect or missing apartment numbers, a violation of legal address requirements and a break in chain of custody.

540 voters were flagged as “N” or Blank, indicating they no longer reside at the address on record.

501 voters listed P.O. Boxes as physical addresses, a direct violation of Wisconsin voter law.

377 had filed permanent change-of-address requests out of state, yet still managed to vote in Wisconsin.

281 moved to a different county within Wisconsin before the legal voting cutoff date—again, still allowed to vote.

217 left no forwarding address before October 24, 2024.

24 were registered at commercial mail-handling locations like UPS or FedEx stores.

11 were shockingly registered to USPS post office buildings themselves.

It’s sick to see what one screwball “judgey” can do to destroy America when she is elected by screwball loser voters.

This time, Elon Musk is making the race competitive.

Him and Scott Presler, who is easily more effective in getting GOP voters to turn out than all of the useless RNC campaign ads ever made put together. Presler raising awareness on this race was why I donated $50 to Schimel's campaign a month ago. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

The FL race is the one the National Dems have spent 9 million while the Trump and Gop have spent nothing .

Trump took a safe fl u gop rep seat and gave the Dems an opening .

Trump hand picked a DUD not from the district
and the Dems have a radical Muslim the FL media has been hiding the fact .

Has Trump visited to save his DUD . no.
Trump flies right over every weekend to golf in Palm Beach .

This may be a upset .

Its supposedly a close now .
Non stop All Dem ads hiding this muslim guy and no Gop . Just like 2020.

Trump has ignored this race and now scrambling .
He did this last 2018 midterms and we were wiped out .

He was there last week. I don't think that's enough.

Given all his skills, the ability to persuade people to support his ideas has to be his greatest. Without that, none of his accomplishments would have been possible.

I wish musk would do it behind the scenes like Soros does. I’m gonna get flack for this but right now at this time in history musk is a lightning rod that we don’t need for this race.
