Wisconsin AG appeals to state's high court to stop Musk from paying voters
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s Democratic attorney general asked the state Supreme Court on Sunday to block presidential adviser Elon Musk from awarding $1 million prizes to voters for casting ballots in a high-stakes race for control of the court.
State Attorney General Josh Kaul made the request 11 hours before Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, planned to give out two $1 million prizes at an event in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Kaul’s filing puts the justices in the awkward position of weighing the legality of Musk’s efforts two days before voters decide whether liberals keep their 4-3 majority on the court.
