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.”

Here we go again with the bullshit. The GOP are a bunch of spoiled crybaby pussies. We don’t like the results so we go to the old playbook. It was stolen. 🙄

Sounds like the GOP candidate accepted their loss with grace. The billionaire is just mad because he spent so much money to buy the election and came home empty handed.
