A bipartisan elections panel found that billionaire Elon Musk likely violated Wisconsin’s election bribery law when he handed out $1 million checks to voters during the state’s Supreme Court election last year.

The Wisconsin Election Committee voted 5-1 last week to refer two complaints against Musk to the Brown County district attorney’s office after finding probable cause that the giveaways broke the state’s election bribery law, commission spokesperson Emilee Miklas told the Associated Press.

The panel, which consists of three Democrats and three Republicans, said in a motion that Musk broke the law by offering the $1 million to Wisconsin voters who cast their ballots in the Supreme Court election “in order to induce them to vote in that election,” according to a motion reviewed by the AP.

Wisconsin law states that anyone who “offers, gives, lends or promises to give or lend, or endeavors to procure, anything of value, or any office or employment or any privilege or immunity to, or for, any elector, or to or for any other person, in order to induce any elector,” is in violation of the law.

Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, first announced the giveaway on social media ahead of a public talk in Wisconsin. He later deleted the post and clarified his plan after experts warned his move could be illegal.

“To clarify a previous post, entrance is limited to those who have signed the petition in opposition to activist judges. I will also hand over checks for a million dollars to 2 people to be spokesmen for the petition,” he wrote on his social platform X.

Musk became one of the largest financial backers of the Supreme Court race, spending at least $20 million supporting Republican candidate Brad Schimel.

Schimel was then easily defeated by liberal Judge Susan Crawford in what became one of the most expensive judicial elections in history, topping $100 million in spending as other big-name donors like billionaire George Soros poured cash into the race.

>likely violated
Aka he didn't. It was a contest you could be entered in for voting, not a bribe. Democrats are literally outside giving out goodie bags near polling centers in my city if you vote. That's functionally no different
>>
>>1523860
god you're esl
>>
>>1523860
Those don’t sound even remotely the same. Do you only get the goodie bag if you vote blue?
>>
>>1523862
Last time there was a raffle for a mountain bike and gift cards that you could enter only if you show your "I voted" sticker
>>
>>1523863
it's too bad they don't have a cure for your rampant oligarchus fellatiitus
>>
>>1523863
So that’s a no, then? You get those stickers no matter who you vote for. Incentivizing people to vote is not the same thing as incentivizing people to vote for a specific party.

Did Elon ever say you had to vote for Trump?

It was a Wisconsin SC election, anon. That said,

You can’t raffle voting…

contrary to your esl language skills
the laws literally say you can't pay someone to vote for any candidate

>>1523880
i guess elon is in trouble then
>>
>>1523880
There’s nothing ESL about that statement. And yes, that’s what I said.
>>
>>1523860
you arent allowed to do any gifting, money giving regarding like incentivizing voting. so he likely did, as was discussed when it happened. lets see the consequences already

Oof. You outed yourself.

I actually was going to write $100,000 at first, but then revised to $1,000,000 and forgot to add the 0.

There will be none. A strongly worded letter is all he gets

Who wants to bet the 1 vote is a republican on muks's payroll?
>>
>>1523854
so you can legally bribe any federal politician, but you cannot bribe people to vote for that politician. Yea this shit makes sense.

The world's richest man has his own agenda and is not on either side.
>>
>>1523971
>The world's richest man who repeatedly publically supports the right wing, agrees with 90% of their sensibilities, bought the world's most popular social media platform to use for right-wing propaganda, held dubious legal lotteries for voters voting for the right, was personally thanked by the president for rigging the 2024 election, benefits massively from right wing tax cuts and deregulation isn't right wing, he's some other third thing, trust me.
>>
>>1523983
"Both sides are bad, so vote republican"
whenever the right wing starts failing, they always sing the same song
>>
>>1523984
it's the Russian playbook, of course they'd use it.
>>
>>1523984
>both sides are bad, so vote for the "kill all white people" democrats!

nah i am good i keep voting republican
>>
>>1524042
We didn't say that though.
>>
>>1524043
their mental illness heard it though
>>
>>1524042
All that grindr cock too good to give up, huh?
Literally no one on the left is running on "kill all white people."
You have to claim that because you're too inept to argue with anything that isn't a strawman. You're afraid of competition with people you insist are inferior because you, not white people, YOU the racist inbred moron, are inferior. If you genuinely believe in racial superiority, please kill yourself, you're holding us back.
>>
Isn't everyone missing the point? Musk bribed voters and the Republican candidate lost. It's not a bribe if they take your money and vote the other way ... it's an attempted bribe. It's a failed bribe.

Musk is an idiot who has found a way to make money from other idiots.
>>
>>1524042
Where on Earth did you get the idea that Democrats want to kill all white people.

The fact that Hispanics are having five times the amount of kids as whites has nothing to do with the political party. Has everything to do with wages not keeping up with living costs.
