Billionaire Elon Musk on Friday deleted a social media post from late Thursday night saying he planned to "personally hand over" $2 million to a pair of voters who have already cast their ballots in Wisconsin's hotly contested Supreme Court election.Musk later posted a clarification, saying the money will go to people who will be "spokesmen" for an online petition against "activist" judges. After first saying the event would only be open to people who had voted in the Supreme Court race, he said attendance would be limited to those who had signed the petition.The change came amid calls for an investigation into whether Musk's actions were a felony under Wisconsin law, which prohibits giving anything of value in exchange for a vote. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul late Friday afternoon filed a lawsuit to stop payments to Wisconsin voters. He is asking for a restraining order that would prohibit Musk from giving any payments to Wisconsin voters. Read lawsuit"The Wisconsin Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that elections in Wisconsin are safe, secure, free, and fair," Kaul said in a statement to WISN 12 News. The case filed in Dane County was originally assigned to Judge Susan Crawford.Her campaign spokesman said, "Cases are assigned randomly in Dane County. Judge Crawford will recuse from this case."It has now been reassigned to Columbia County Circuit Court Judge W. Andrew Voigt. The race has become a significant battleground over the nation's politics, with President Trump and Musk endorsing Brad Schimel, the Republican-backed candidate, in the officially nonpartisan contest.Musk has already handed out $1 million to a Green Bay voter for signing a petition in opposition to "activist judges." The petition introduced previous days by Musk's political action committee, America First, said it was offering $100 to Wisconsin voters who signed it but didn't indicate there would be a $1 million prize.The Supreme Court race has shattered previous spending records for a U.S. judicial election and has become a referendum on Musk and the first months of Trump's administration.Musk and groups he funds have already spent more than $20 million in an effort to elect Schimel, while billionaire George Soros has given $2 million to bolster liberal candidate Susan Crawford, and Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has donated $1.5 million.The race comes as the Wisconsin Supreme Court could rule on abortion rights, congressional redistricting, union power and voting rules that could affect the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Top Headlines19 guns, 114 bullets: Police search for shooters in Dineen Park mass shootingAmtrak trains in Milwaukee to see delays and possible travel alternativesNew Trump tariffs expected to impact car prices in Milwaukee area Community cleanup volunteer confronts serial dumper at former Sears siteWATCH Building collapses in Bangkok, Thailand, following an earthquake in neighboring Myanmar.
