As Musk pours millions into Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Tesla files case that could reach justices [View all]

Billionaire Elon Musk is pouring millions of dollars into Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race as his electric vehicle company wages a legal fight that could reach the state’s high court.

A political action committee created by Musk has spent more than $2.5 million on digital advertising, printed brochures and canvassing efforts in the race, according to a regulatory filing that included payments made between Feb. 19 and Feb. 26.

A conservative nonprofit that the Tesla CEO has contributed to in the past also spent $1.6 million on TV ads, the Associated Press reported.

Musk is backing Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate in the race and former state attorney general. The April 1 election pits Schimel against Dane County Judge Susan Crawford, the liberal candidate in the race.
