Billionaire Elon Musk gave out two one-million dollar checks to two attendees at a town hall in Green Bay on Sunday.
Musk’s political action committee organized the event for people who signed a petition against what it calls “activist judges.” Musk and his group are backing Republican Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel ahead of Tuesday’s critical Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
The state’s Attorney General had filed a lawsuit against the action, as Wisconsin law bars giving voters anything of value to influence their vote. However a judge decided to allow Musk’s payouts anyway.
