  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.”

  4. "And earlier he choked up on Fox News talking about the protests against Tesla and the impact it's having on the company's valuation. Both these things demonstrate the limits of his power and the scope of our power. The Tesla protests are working. People have the power."

  5. "Elon Musk has helpfully just proven how resistible power is, or the folly of confusing mountains of money with outright power. He had an apparent meltdown last night over his failure to buy the Wisconsin supreme court election, in which his candidate didn't just lose but lost in a landslide."

  7. "[Musk's] loss signals that money and messaging cannot dominate the deep and growing sense of dissatisfaction with the direction of the country, and with Musk in particular."

  8. "In some states, it is illegal to give water to voters waiting in line to vote, but Musk can give $50 for someone waving a photo of his preferred candidate. His preference for money shows a deep distrust of democracy, assuming the best way to shape it is by paying voters rather than by the power of ideas.

  9. "The comfortable win by Democratic Judge Susan Crawford is the second sign in two weeks of a political backlash against the Trump Presidency. ...

    That’s a warning to the GOP that the Trump-Musk governing style is stirring a backlash that could cost them control of Congress next year."

    這場Musk輸了,非常好。

    Susan Crawford贏得了,
    Wisconsin州最高法院法官的席位,
    使得自由派在州法院中仍然佔據多數。
    這是美國史上最昂貴的法院選舉。

    Musk繼續揮灑美金去收買籠絡人心。
    反而在當地讓一些選民形成了負面觀感。
    Wisconsin的選民用選票作為回答。

    一個68歲的身障退伍老兵說,
    他本來是想棄權的,最後轉投了Crawford。
    他覺得Musk砍掉了人們需要的東西。

    一個65歲選民說,
    Musk不該試圖賄賂市民。這不應該被允許。
    他感到氣憤。

    Susan Crawford在勝選演講裡說,
    "... that justice does not have a price.
    Our courts are not for sale."

  11. 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.

  12. Loser says what?

    #ElonMusk is so full of crap, he claims that the #Wisconsin #VoterID requirement on the ballot “was the most important thing.”

    It literally was already required of Wisconsin voters, the amendment merely codified it.

    They are incapable of admitting when they lose.

    在今天(当地时间4月1日)进行的 #wisconsin 州最高院法官席位竞选中,支持堕胎权、支持工会等的自由派女性候选人 #SusanCrawford 成功获选
    随着联邦层面妊终权被推翻等一系列极右浪潮,州最高院俨然成为各地人权的最后堡垒了
    赢下州最高院席位对抵挡极右的进一步攻击是极大的助力
    至少今天我们可以为这小小的胜利欢呼

  15. Think how unpopular and disliked you have to be in order to spend literally millions of your own dollars supporting a judicial candidate who STILL got their ass handed to them.

    You would have to be incredibly unpopular and disliked... I mean like Elon Musk level unpopular and disliked.

  16. The Democratic-backed candidate for #WisconsinSupremeCourt defeated a challenger endorsed by #Trump & billionaire #ElonMusk, cementing a #liberal majority for at least 3 more years.

    #SusanCrawford, a Dane County judge who led legal fights to protect #union power & #abortion rights, defeated Republican-backed Brad Schimel in a race that broke records for spending, was on pace to be the highest-turnout #Wisconsin #SupremeCourt election ever & became a proxy for #USpol battles.

  17. 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.
