Musk has already funneled $14 million into the race

Summary

Elon Musk’s America PAC is offering $100 to registered voters who sign a petition opposing “activist judges” ahead of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on April 1st.

The legality of this tactic is debated, as it doesn’t mandate voting but requires voter registration.

The race pits conservative Brad Schimel, backed by Musk’s $14 million, against liberal Judge Susan Crawford, with liberals aiming to retain a 4-3 majority.

Musk’s support also ties to Tesla’s lawsuit against Wisconsin’s dealership ban.

      No, because what you’re referring to isn’t a confession and calling it one is misleading.

      Confessions involve admitting conduct that you personally were involved in. The linked article isn’t a confession by any definition of the word.

      If I say “<You> killed a homeless person.” Is that a confession of murder? Are you a murderer because “I confessed” that you did it?

      In addition, from the article:

      Although the clip is unaltered and the quote in question is authentic, Trump did not specify whether he was referring to the 2020 or 2024 presidential election.

      Saying “they rigged the election and I won” could have been referring to the 2020 election which, if you’ll recall, Trump claimed the Democrats (they) rigged the election and also that he won the 2020 election.

      The real question is, are you being misleading on purpose or are you ignorantly repeating things that you’ve seen elsewhere?
