Summary
Liberal judge Susan Crawford defeated Elon Musk-backed conservative Brad Schimel in Wisconsin’s supreme court race, preserving a 4-3 liberal majority.
The high-stakes contest, which drew over $80 million—$20 million from Musk and affiliates—became the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history.
Democrats framed the election as a referendum on Musk and Trump, fueling turnout and grassroots support.
The liberal court majority will influence key rulings on abortion, labor rights, and congressional redistricting. Milwaukee saw historic turnout, with multiple polling sites running out of ballots during the evening rush.
There’s a difference between net worth, and liquidity. That came out of his liquidity pool.
Edit, not sure why I was downvoted, this is the truth. A lot of his wealth is tied up in loans against his stocks. If you do enough damage, he has to sell more stock to pay that back, eventually over leveraging himself.
It would take a lot to do that today, which is why going after his TSLA sick price hurts him the most right now.
