The Democratic-backed candidate in a race that will determine whether liberals maintain their majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court decried Elon Musk's involvement, saying Tuesday that the world's wealthiest man was “trying to buy a seat on our Supreme Court."
A political action committee created by Musk, a close adviser to President Donald Trump, has spent $1 million on the Wisconsin Supreme Court contest so far. A conservative nonprofit that Musk has contributed to in the past, Building America's Future, has spent $1.6 million on television ads attacking the liberal candidate.
