A special prosecutor appointed in the case determined that no jury would convict Elon Musk of election bribery for his pre-election social media posts offering $1 million checks during the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court race. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission had referred complaints after Musk initially tied the payments to voting before revising the terms. Musk's backed candidate lost the election to Democrat-supported Susan Crawford, preserving the liberal majority on the court.
