Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin delivered some tough news to Fox & Friends viewers on Thursday, letting them know that “first buddy” Elon Musk is considered an unpopular “rich outsider” in Wisconsin, and the state’s voters pushed back on his efforts to influence the Supreme Court election.
Tobin’s report comes the morning after Susan Crawford decisively defeated Musk-backed opponent Brad Schimel, retaining liberals 4-3 majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Seen as something of a proxy for Democrats’ political future following Donald Trump’s election and his chaotic first few months in office, the race delivered a crushing defeat to Trump’s DOGE chief, who dumped $20 million in support of Schimel’s campaign.
