Elon Musk awards $1 million to Wisconsin voter

Billionaire Elon Musk says a Wisconsin voter has been awarded $1 million days before the conclusion of a fiercely contested state Supreme Court election that has broken spending records and become a referendum on Musk and the first months of President Donald Trump’s administration. The payment to a Green Bay man identified as Scott A., was announced Wednesday night on X. Musk’s political action committee, America First, announced last week that it was offering $100 to voters who signed a petition in opposition to “activist judges.” He did not say there would be $1 million prizes at that time, but in his post on Wednesday said an additional $1 million award would be made in two days. It was not clear who determined the winner of the $1 million or how it was done. No legal action against Musk’s payments to voters has been filed in Wisconsin with the Supreme Court election five days away.
