Elon Musk’s hunger for power has a new target: Wisconsin’s supreme court election on April 1.
THE NEW REPUBLIC: Elon Musk Is Openly Trying to Buy Votes in Crucial Supreme Court Race
After spending almost $300 million to elect Donald Trump – buying himself a virtual joint presidency with Trump – Musk is now spending $20 million more to put right-wing extremists back in control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
The Guardian calls the move "a statement of intent by Musk to expand his political power in America by playing an insidious role in key races across the country."
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has a proven track record of winning tough races—even in the most hostile election cycles against well-funded Republicans. With our help, they are fighting back against Musk and Trump’s power grab.

This election will decide whether or not we maintain a 4-3 majority with major cases dealing with abortion, union rights, election law, and congressional redistricting already under consideration or expected to be argued before it soon.
If we lose and Musk puts this pivotal court in his pocket, he will be able to use Wisconsin's central role in national elections and House and Senate majorities to help Trump and the Republican Party rig the rules, suppress votes, and attack basic freedoms – all while making himself and other billionaires even richer.
PCCC members like you have long understood the stakes in Wisconsin. In 2023, PCCC members helped elect Justice Janet Protasiewicz to this court, flipping the majority and ending Wisconsin’s gerrymandered maps. That win gave voters, not politicians, the power to choose their leaders and protected abortion rights.
But now, Musk and his deep-pocketed allies are coming for that progress and the stakes are even higher.
Thanks for fighting strongly in this moment,
