Musk’s $1M Petition Push Under Fire | Green Bay News

Elon Musk may have just broken Wisconsin’s anti-bribery laws—according to the state’s elections commission, his $1 million checks to petition signers in Green Bay were likely meant to sway votes. Two state reps are now demanding charges, arguing money can’t buy votes or access, especially as midterms loom. A key complainant, Rachel Maes, slammed Musk’s offer as a bribe, declaring Wisconsin’s integrity isn’t for sale—even with a trillion dollars. This isn’t Musk’s first rodeo: the AG previously tried to block the payments, and a separate lawsuit claims his actions could turn elections into an open auction. Though lawmakers tried to tighten anti-bribery laws last session, the bill died—and the DA hasn’t said whether he’ll act.
