According to a new article from Dan Bice at Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Elon Musk has already spent at least $670,000 supporting former WI Attorney General Brad Schimel in our state supreme court race. That number is likely to increase in the coming weeks as we near election day on April first. Wisconsin has allowed easy circumvention of campaign donation limits for several years now. However, now that the richest man in the world is putting his thumb on the scale, we are reaching new heights.
At the bottom of the hour, our friend Luke Mathers hops on the show for another round of Tuesday Tangents! He offers his perspective on Elon Musk’s meddling in Wisconsin elections. This $670,000+ ad buy is a drop in the bucket for Musk, but it will make a tremendous difference in this race.
