Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk said late Thursday he will be giving a talk to voters in Wisconsin this weekend ahead of the state’s highly anticipated state Supreme Court election.
« On Sunday night, I will give a talk in Wisconsin. Entrance is limited to those who have voted in the Supreme Court election, » Musk wrote on his social media platform X.
The billionaire said he would « personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each in appreciation for you taking the time to vote. »
« This is super important, » Musk added.

Musk announced Wednesday night that a Green Bay man had been awarded $1 million for signing a petition from America PAC – which is funded by Musk – against « activist judges in Wisconsin. »
Musk said the next million-dollar award would be announced Friday.
The payment is similar to a lottery that Musk’s political action committee ran last year in Wisconsin and other battleground states before the election in November.

America PAC announced last week that it was offering $100 to voters who signed its petition. Musk did not say that there would be $1 million prizes at that time, nor was it clear who determined the winner of the $1 million or how it was done.
The upcoming election on Tuesday – filling a seat held by a liberal justice who is retiring – will determine whether Wisconsin’s highest court will remain under 4-3 liberal control or flip to a conservative majority.
The race is being closely watched, becoming a proxy battle over the nation’s politics, with Trump supporters lined up behind the Republican candidate, Brad Schimel.
The campaign for Schimel’s Democratic-supported opponent, Susan Crawford, has blasted Musk’s $1 million payment as a supposed illegal attempt to buy influence on the court in a state where Tesla, Musk’s electric car company, has a lawsuit pending that could end up before the court.
