It seems likely.
Musk has poured over $20,000,000 of his own money into the campaign. Paying canvassers $25/hour, far more than is usual. Buying huge amounts of advertising, mostly attacks on Crawford. He gave two $1,000,000 checks to people he declared to be 'spokespeople' for his political group.
Musk wants to win this one for Trump, but Tesla will also benefit directly from favorable court rulings in Wisconsin.
We have such as corrupt election system.

Musk-funded political group spends big and goes door to door in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race
What Happened: Musk’s America PAC has spent over $4.3 million on door-to-door canvassing to boost conservative Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Musk is urging people to sign up as “block captains” for $20 per house visited, while also offering $100 per voter signature against “activist judges.”
Why It Matters: Musk is, yet again, injecting massive cash and manpower into an election that will decide control of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court—and future rulings on abortion, unions, Tesla lawsuit, and election laws. The direct payouts raise ethical questions about vote-buying and election manipulation.

Elon Musk Hands Out $1 Million Checks to Wisconsin Voters Despite Legal Challenge
What Happened: Musk handed out two $1 million checks to Wisconsin voters at a rally in Green Bay, moments after the state Supreme Court declined to block the scheme. Musk claimed the recipients were “spokespeople” for his America PAC—a very bad attempt to dodge vote-buying laws. He’s already funneled over $20 million into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, calling it vital to Trump’s agenda and GOP control of Congress.
Why It Matters: This is a brazen case of political bribery and attempting to influence a Tesla lawsuit. Offering cash to voters guts the principle of free and fair elections. Two courts and even a liberal-majority state Supreme Court refused to stop it, setting a dangerous precedent. If this stands, billionaires will escalate buying influence with direct payouts—shredding election integrity in plain sight.

More likely Dems will win.
And they'll parade it as some big huge victory......in what has been a BLUE state other than when Trump won it by a pubic hair.
