Elon Musk faced a significant setback in Wisconsin when voters overwhelmingly rejected his backed candidate, Brad Schimel, for a state supreme court seat. Musk invested over $25 million in Schimel's campaign, even personally attending rallies and engaging in extravagant campaign tactics. However, the election turned into a referendum on Musk’s character, and his candidate lost to Susan Crawford by a notable margin. This loss reflects a broader trend in state-level politics where liberal activism is gaining traction against him and conservative influences.
Musk's visibility turned the race into a referendum on his character, with Susan Crawford branding her campaign as the "people vs Elon Musk" and winning decisively.
Despite Musk's extravagant spending and efforts, the Wisconsin voters rejected his preferred candidate. The Democratic party even mocked him, calling him a "loser" for the failed campaign.
