John,

In 2025, Elon Musk spearheaded a corrupt scheme to entice select voters in Wisconsin with a $1 million payout who pledged to help Republicans try to win the hotly-contested State Supreme Court race.

And now the Wisconsin Elections Commission, a BIPARTISAN panel consisting of three Democrats and three Republicans, voted 5-1 in closed session to refer two complaints against Elon Musk of alleged election bribery to the Brown County District Attorney. 

The Commissioners found “probable cause” that Musk broke state laws against election bribery in an illicit scheme to “induce” voters to vote in the Supreme Court election.

Brown County is home to Milwaukee and Green Bay—cities where Musk personally handed out oversized checks to voters just days before the election. The Brown County District Attorney is a Republican who must now choose whether to prosecute Musk, the world’s richest man, or to let him violate Wisconsin state law with impunity.

We called it bribery at the time when our team was working to help elect the Democratic candidate in that race. We called it bribery even after the WI Attorney General unsuccessfully sued to stop Musk’s payouts . 

And we still call it bribery, because that’s exactly what it is. Musk broke the law on a massive scale and he should be locked up for it.

For years now, Defend Our Courts has been building the firewall of state courts and judicial posts to safeguard our elections and hold MAGA accountable when they violate the law, trample on our rights, and try to destroy our democracy.

If charges are brought against him, Musk is sure to appeal all the way to the State Supreme Court — the very Court that he spent $100 million trying to stack with MAGA loyalists.

The work we do to elect good, qualified people who respect and uphold the Constitution in top judicial posts in key swing states, including Wisconsin, will play a pivotal role in determining Musk’s fate.

This bipartisan ruling against Elon Musk is proof that the work we do to protect elections, elect trustworthy judges, and stop Trump from killing our democracy has a direct and immediate impact. Will you chip in any amount today to supercharge our work to save America from MAGA fascism this November?

Thank you,
