A bipartisan panel in Wisconsin has determined that Elon Musk likely violated state election bribery laws by offering $1 million checks to voters during the 2025 state Supreme Court election. The Wisconsin Elections Commission has referred two complaints to the Brown County district attorney, who will decide whether to pursue criminal charges. Musk's actions, which included handing out checks at a rally and offering money for petition signatures, were intended to influence voters, though his legal team argued these were free speech exercises.
