Like today in Wisconsin.

Elon dumped 20 million in the race. Republican money flooded in from everywhere.

All told, the Republican war chest spent 50 million in Wisconsin.

MAGA WAS ALL IN. Trump endorsed Schimel. Schimel glued his campaign to Trump. The MAGA influencers were there_ Charlie Kirk…. And of course, Elon.

FOX said if Crawford won, Marxism would take over. Not to be outdone by FOX, Elon claimed a Crawford win would usher in the “end of civilization”.

And in spite of Elon wearing a “cheesehead”, he got his ass handed to him.


Proving conclusively that Wisconsin cheese and ketamine don’t mix well.

I wonder if Elon was curled up in a fetal position on bis private jet As he exited the state? These “man babies” have brittle egos, you understand…

Cancal WaPo!!!!!!!

LOL

As predicted, the usual partisan extremists.

A Liberal should've won this a historically blue state and yes it's blue ---unless you are suggesting Trump won by landslides each time.

The fact that it was competitive ---- should give the non Sheeples pause.

Has little to do with money and ketamine - those are just your memes of the minute.

That’s not quite true..

“Now, the Wisconsin court race is seen as an early test of his prowess outside of Washington. Musk endorsed Schimel in January and has donated $3 million to the Republican Party of Wisconsin”

“A Better Wisconsin Together Political Fund, a union-supported electioneering group, has ponied up over $6 million to advance Crawford. In other big outlays, Soros has given $2 million to the state Democratic Party, while Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, another billionaire, gave $1.5 million. And California venture capitalist Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, donated $250,000.”

There was a lot of outside influence from both sides in Wisconsin.

Locally, in my little town of less than a 4,000 population, a referendum was shot down to tear down and rebuild a state of the arts high school. Last I heard the asking amount was 25/30 million dollars, of course it would end up costing local taxpayers a big hike in property taxes if liberals had their way. Locals are saying remodel and fix what needs to be fixed instead.
All liberals running for local Office here lost their bids for election.

Interesting though President Trump won Wisconsin and had endorse Schimel.
President Trump winning Wisconsin was the bottom line though I was happy about.

More delusion.

You have to count all his spending, not just dollars funneled to the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

Elon Musk spent $22 million directly supporting Schimel, via donations from America PAC, which Musk originally founded in 2024 to support President Donald Trump, according to reports from CNN.

In addition to this, Musk funded a series of giveaways, also run through America PAC, for a petition that called on voters to reject "activist judges", language that Musk has repeatedly use to describe liberals in the judiciary.


His illegal petition giveaway cost him more than $3 million.
