Musk poured a ton of money, time, and energy into this race
In particular, the race was seen as a test of Musk’s political sway, as his super PAC, America PAC, alone spent more than $12 million to support Schimel. He also traveled to Wisconsin the Sunday before the election, where he handed out $1 million checks to voters who had signed his petition against “activist judges.”
They spent an obscene amount, used horrible scare tactics, lied, slandered, and bribed people into voting for their pro-Trump shill and after all that, they lost in a blowout.
This was a must win, and Wisconsin came through for us. Not only will this help protect the rule of law in Wisconsin, but it could very well determine the outcome of both the mid terms and potentially even the next presidential election. Or at least, it likely prevented the other guy from letting the Republicans get away with blatant voter suppression and gerrymandering that they almost certainly would have reinstituted once they controlled the courts again.
