Crawford won by approximately 10% of the vote share, even as groups supporting Brad Schimel—including Musk’s America PAC—spent vastly more money.

Two lower courts had already rejected the legal challenge by Democrat Josh Kaul, who argues that Musk's offer violates a state law.

Susan Crawford's convincing victory — and Elon Musk's role in the race — provided plenty of fodder for TV's late-night comedians Wednesday night.

Wisconsin voters go to the polls Tuesday for the state’s Supreme Court election, which is drawing national attention as billionaire Elon Musk spends millions on the high-stakes race, which could have national implications for House races and the 2028 presidential election—and help Musk-owned Tesla.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously declined to consider a last-minute effort by the state attorney general to stop Elon Musk from distributing million-dollar checks on Sunday.

Crawford described her opponent Brad Schimel as "quite gracious" in his call to her conceding the race Tuesday night.

In a contest seen as a litmus test of the popularity of the policies of the Trump administration, Crawford defeated Brad Schimel, who was backed by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Elon Musk was heavily involved in the election, constantly tweeting up a storm and spending a buttload of his own money, $20 million to be exact. He also gave away two $1-million checks to Wisconsin voters and offered $100 payments to voters who signed a petition opposing "activist judges."
