Summary
Elon Musk’s recent political spending in Wisconsin, particularly in backing a candidate in the state’s Supreme Court race, was largely unsuccessful, leading him to announce a reduction in future political contributions. Following a significant loss for the candidate he supported, Democrats claimed victory over Musk’s influence, labeling him “toxic” in the state. Despite his retreat, analysts suggest Musk may still engage in political funding, albeit with a lower profile, as his previous contributions were substantial, making the court race the costliest in U.S. history.
