Musk funds Wisconsin Supreme Court election to shift majority

independent.co.uk

Elon Musk is significantly funding the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, aiming to shift the court's majority to conservatives. His financial support for candidate Brad Schimel, a Trump supporter, contrasts with the liberal backing for Susan Crawford. Musk's contributions, exceeding $10 million from his aligned PACs, are expected to make this election the most expensive in state history. The current court has a liberal majority, which could be overturned if Schimel wins. Health care advocates express concern over Schimel's past efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. They warn that a conservative court could reverse recent gains in abortion rights and healthcare access in Wisconsin.
