A group backed by billionaire Elon Musk is behind a new set of deceptive attack ads and text messages targeting voters just weeks ahead of the election for a seat on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court.

Among the judges targeted by Elon Musk is Amir Ali, whose order appealed by Trump officials was effectively endorsed by a Supreme Court majority.

On Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court issued its first decision in Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s escalating war on government agencies and Congress’ power of the purse. The result: the court is one justice shy of letting Trump and Musk do whatever they want—at least for now.

Democrats are casting the race for control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court as a referendum on billionaire Elon Musk as he and other Republican allies have outpaced Democrats in spending with the election just a month away.

Eight days after being denied by the circuit court, Musk told his 219 million followers on X to "vote Republican" in the April 1 Supreme Court election.

The contest that will decide the political tilt of the swing state’s highest court is likely to be the most expensive state court race in U.S. history.

Elon Musk’s super PAC has spent $1 million on canvassing operations supporting the conservative candidate in the race, his first election spending after the 2024 campaign.

Schimel, as Wisconsin’s attorney general from 2015 to 2019, defended the state’s strict voter ID law in court and claimed it was a key reason why Trump won Wisconsin in 2016. He also sent Department of Justice staff to monitor polls in heavily Democratic areas in that election, which Democrats viewed as voter intimidation.

The state Democratic Party is launching a seven-figure initiative, with digital ads and town halls, to counter Elon Musk's Supreme Court spending.

Democrats can overcome the funding disadvantage by tapping into the “rage” that voters feel as Musk “tears the country apart,” Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler said Tuesday.
