American attorney, former judge, and Republican politician
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has referred two complaints to the Brown County district attorney over claims that Elon Musk offered $1 million to voters to influence the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Prosecutors have 40 days to respond. Musk’s team argues the offers were free speech.

The case follows a record-breaking, $100 million-plus spending on the race, which Crawford won by 10 percentage points.
