Summary
Elon Musk gave away two $1 million checks in Wisconsin ahead of a key state Supreme Court election, prompting backlash after one winner was revealed as Nicholas Jacobs, chair of the Wisconsin College Republicans.
Critics called the giveaway “rigged,” fueling suspicion about Musk’s political motives.
Though Musk claimed the money wasn’t tied to voting, his deleted post initially suggested it rewarded voters. Wisconsin law bans vote-motivating payments.
Musk has invested nearly $20 million to support conservative candidate Brad Schimel.
This man is an existential threat to democracy
Or maybe its money and we should get rid of it and just work for the pleasure of it and get everything we need for free :|

sorry… my repressed communist soul came out, I’ll repress it back in.
