Elon Musk just dropped over 21 million dollars—twenty-one million—trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and he still got his ass handed to him by voters?
That’s right, folks. As of today, April 2nd, Susan Crawford has officially slapped back against the billionaire power grab, defeating Trump-endorsed Brad Schimel in what turned out to be the most expensive judicial race in American history. And guess what? The people still won.
Over 80 million dollars were poured into this race, and nearly a quarter of that came straight from Musk and his MAGA money minions, desperate to tip the scales of justice in one of the most important battleground states in the country. But Crawford didn’t just win—she crushed it. She’s up by nearly 10 points with over 84% of the vote counted. That’s not just a win, that’s a rejection—a rejection of Trump, a rejection of Musk, and a rejection of the idea that billionaires get to buy our courts like they're shopping for Teslas.

Let me say this loud and clear: Wisconsin voters just sent a message. The courts are not for sale. And Susan Crawford, bless her for saying it in her victory speech—justice does not have a price. That’s the kind of spine we need in every damn courtroom across this country.
This win keeps the 4-3 liberal majority intact on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and that is huge. We’re talking about a court that will decide the future of abortion rights, labor laws, redistricting, and so much more heading into 2026. This is the line in the sand. And voters stood on the right side of it.
Now let’s be real here—this wasn’t just some sleepy local judge race. This was a national proxy war. Obama endorsed Crawford. Trump backed Schimel. Musk bankrolled the whole damn conservative effort. And yet, they lost. Because when voters show up—when they know what’s at stake—they win.
So to the people of Wisconsin, I say: Thank you. You just reminded the rest of the country what democracy looks like when it isn’t drenched in dark money and billionaire bullshit.
Now, the rest of us? Take notes. Because if this is a preview of 2026, and even 2028, then it’s time we gear up and get loud. We don’t need Musk’s millions—we need millions of voters ready to protect this democracy.
And to Elon Musk? Maybe stick to crashing satellites and playing pretend Tony Stark. Because when it comes to democracy, you’re not the main character, pal.
We are.
