Elon Musk May Face Charges for Alleged Election Bribery in Wisconsin
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is under scrutiny for potentially violating Wisconsin's election bribery law. The Wisconsin Elections Commission referred complaints to the Brown County district attorney's office after finding probable cause that Musk offered $1 million to voters to influence their participation in the 2025 state Supreme Court election. This election was marked by over $100 million in spending, making it the most expensive judicial race in US history. Musk's actions, including payments made at a rally shortly before the election, have led to a separate lawsuit aiming to prevent him from making similar offers in the future. The district attorney will determine whether to pursue criminal charges against Musk.
