- Story Text:Protesters against Tesla CEO Elon Musk and those in support of him gathered on Sunday (March 30) outside the venue for Musk’s rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, ahead of a state Supreme Court election that is already the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history.
The race for the open seat will be an early test of the Trump administration’s popularity in a political swing state, with more than $17 million spent by groups tied to Musk helping shatter election spending records.
The outcome of Tuesday’s (April 1) election will determine whether the seven-member state Supreme Court has a conservative or liberal majority. On Sunday, Musk handed out million-dollar checks to two voters in Wisconsin and promised smaller payments to others who help elect conservative candidate, Brad Schimel.
One protester, 43-year-old Greg Davison, said Musk should not be “messing with our Supreme Court justice election”. However, Musk supporter, Laura Jagdfeld, described the Tesla CEO as a “really good supplement to President Trump and his administration”.
