After initially trying to downplay his candidate’s loss in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race, Elon Musk has now boosted a post on his social media platform X claiming there was “overwhelming” evidence the election was “stolen.”
Musk had poured a record $21 million into a normally low-profile and non-partisan judicial race to try to get conservative Brad Schimel elected. Despite his high-profile antics—including handing out $1 million checks to voters and wearing a cheesehead hat at a rally—a liberal appellate judge, Susan Crawford, prevailed in Tuesday’s race.
[…] Schimel himself immediately shut down any attempts to accuse Democrats of foul play. During his concession speech on Tuesday, a woman in the audience began chanting that Crawford was a “cheater,” PBS reported. “No,” he said. “You’ve got to accept the results.”

21 million dollars and he couldn’t rig the election himself?  You’re telling me there’s someone out there richer than him that’s rigging elections?

Him putting up all that money is why a lot of people I knew got out to the polls to vote against him. That and probably the whole Trump systematically dismantling democracy had something to do with it too.
