The PAC's Elon Musk's Political Action Committee (PAC) made headlines by offering $100 to voters in Wisconsin to sign a petition against a “radical judge.” The petitions were promoted online and in-person events ahead of the state's April 1 Supreme Court election. The petition holds that judges should comply with the law in writing, rather than imposing their personal or political beliefs. The language is very similar to the latest criticisms of Musk and Donald Trump that are very similar to those of judges who oppose the Trump administration’s ruling. While the petition itself does not endorse specific candidates, it allows Musk’s team to collect voter data that can be used in future political efforts. Musk used cash rewards in previous elections to influence voter participation. His PAC offered a $1 million raffle last year to swing state voters who signed a petition to support gun rights, a move widely seen as an effort to improve Trump’s chances of reelection. Musk's latest political move has inspired debates about the energy debate in just weeks of the Supreme Court election in Wisconsin. Whether such cash giveaways will affect voter turnout or face legal challenges remains to be seen.
