  1. Earlier this week, all American eyes were on Wisconsin as two judges duked it out for a seat on the state’s supreme court — a race that Elon Musk poured millions into. @bolts’s Alex Burness wrote the definitive story on what happened and what it all means. “Today should be a breaking point for our state. Even if your preferred candidate wins, … every single Wisconsinite should be alarmed at this grotesque billionaire arms race,” Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Center, told Bolts late Tuesday, before the result was announced. “The past two months have shown us a terrifying preview of what’s coming: an America where billionaires run the show, and the rest of us are just spectators.”

  2. In Wisconsin, where billionaire adviser to Donald Trump, Elon Musk, spoke in Green Bay ahead of Tuesday’s state Supreme Court election.
    Musk has spent around $20 million to support Trump-backed candidate #BradSchimel over liberal #SusanCrawford in what’s become the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history.

    Oups, Musk's money couldn't influence voter's choice, and Susan Crawford got elected yesterday.

    During a rally on Sunday, Musk distributed two $1m cheques to voters at a rally who signed a petition of his against "activist judges".

    Others who signed it received $100 from Musk.

    Pour influencer le vote de la cour suprême du Wisconsin, Musk a fait un don au candidat de Trump Brad Schimmel ; il a aussi offert un chèque de 1 million $ à 2 personnes prises au hasard parmi les signataire d'une pétition en faveur de l’élection de Schimmer.

    Bummer, Schimmer a été largement battu dans les urn,es et le Procureur Général du Wisconsin a ouvert une action en justice contre Musk pour cette pratique, aujourd'hui illégale, du 19ème siècle où les partis donnaient un billet de 10$ pour chaque personnes allant voter pour son candidat.

  3. Look, I know #elon is the big loser here and is probably losing his mind at the moment (lol). But let's also have some laughs at his boy #BradSchimel aka 'the loser who couldn't win despite the help of the richest asshole in the world'

  5. i try to avoid giving oxygen to the crypto prediction markets like #Kalshi *but* i thought it was heartening that those markets currently put the odds of #ElonMusk losing the #Wisconsin judicial race he's pouring tens of millions of dollars into at 86%.

    This is easily the most important election in the US for quite a long time to come and it looks like MAGA is going to go down in flames.
