Musk Endorses Schimel in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election.
Elon Musk has publicly endorsed Brad Schimel for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, urging voters to support the candidate in a statement released on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
Musk, identifying Schimel as “Superjudge,” argued that a victory for Democrats in the election could lead to redistricting efforts aimed at flipping the House of Representatives and obstructing proposed government reforms. He specifically cited the Republican House majority as being “razor-thin” and vulnerable to such challenges.
Musk, reportedly an advisor to President Trump and a leading figure at the Department of Government Efficiency, previously signaled his support for Schimel’s candidacy in the upcoming April 1, 2025, election against Susan Crawford. He has also pledged significant financial contributions to supporters of Schimel. This endorsement underscores the national attention the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is attracting, particularly concerning its potential impact on broader political dynamics.
