A political action group linked to billionaire Elon Musk was forced to pull a social media ad they circulated in Wisconsin after realizing it targeted the wrong person.

Political group Building America's Future attempted to attack Dane County Judge Susan Crawford, a liberal candidate who is running for Wisconsin Supreme Court, by creating an ad featuring her. Instead, the group accidentally used an image of a different Susan Crawford, reported Wisconsin Public Radio.
