Musk’s $20 Million Cheesehead Flop: Wisconsin Voters Reject Billionaire’s Election Gamble
Janet Protasiewicz’s victory over conservative candidate Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race was a decisive win for liberals, giving them a 4-3 majority on the court. This outcome defied a significant financial investment from Elon Musk in support of Schimel, totaling over $20 million. The election is seen as a rejection of both Musk and Donald Trump, who endorsed Schimel. Protasiewicz’s win secures liberal control of the court for the next three years, impacting significant cases on issues such as abortion and redistricting.
