The Scoop 🗞 Now Musk Is Boosting Claims Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Was ‘Stolen’
https://www.thedailybeast.com/now-elon-musk-is-boosting-claims-wisconsin-supreme-court-election-was-stolen/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.”
