Musks FIRED After Democrat WON WI Supreme Court Election
Wisconsin Supreme Court Race: Democrat Susan Crawford Beats Musk Backed Candidate
Liberal Judge says victory is against unprecedented attack on our democracy after defeating Brad Schimel in the most expensive judicial election in US history The Guardian 2 APR 2025 https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIF.0...=Api&P=0&h=180 Judge Susan Crawford https://washingtonstatestandard.com/...rd-768x432.jpg Milwaukee, Wisconsins largest city, reported historic turnout for a spring election, with election officials saying due to the unprecedented high turnout, seven polling places ran out of ballots. The citys elections commission said it was working to replenish resources to voters during the evening rush. A combined more than $80m was spent on the race, topping the previous record of some $51m that was spent in the 2023 Wisconsin state supreme court race. Musk and affiliated groups spent more than $20m alone. Musk reprised some of the tactics that he used last fall to help Trump win, including offering $100 to people who signed a petition opposing activist judges and offering $1 million checks to voters. Pointing to the potential to redraw House districts, Musk had said the race might decide the future of America and western civilization Democrats seized on Musks involvement in the race to energize voters who were upset about the wrecking ball he and his unofficial department of government efficiency, or Doge, have taken to federal agencies. They raised the stakes of an already high stakes contest by holding out Wisconsin as a test case for Musk, saying that if he succeeded, he would take his model across the country. Growing up in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, I never thought I would be taking on the richest man in the world for justice, Crawford said on Tuesday night. And we won. https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800 After Musks involvement became public, Democrats saw an explosion in grassroots donations and people coming out of the woodwork to get involved in the race, Ben Wikler, the states Democratic party chair, said last month. When the party tested its messaging, Wikler said, messages that highlighted Musks involvement in the race motivated voters who were otherwise disengaged from politics. |

Elon Musk Dramatically 'Steps Down' From DOGE in Shock Move After Trump Expressed Private Doubts
Musks designation as a special government employee meant he was scheduled to step down in May, but he is now leaving early in a cloud of controversy. MailOnline 2 APR 2025 https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/imag...=1045&vtcrop=y BYE BYE Not So Smarty Pants....:clapper::clapper::clapper: Trump says Elon Musk will be out of the White House 'soon' Donald Trump has informed his Cabinet and inner circle that Elon Musk will be stepping back from his high-profile government role in the coming weeks. The Tesla and SpaceX boss will soon be returning to the business world, Politico reported. Revelations about the shock move rattled the stock market and stunned Washington. It represents an apparent sea change in Trumps relationship with Musk from last month when White House sources were suggesting that the Tesla boss was here to stay. Within the White House, Musk has become a controversial figure due to his slash and burn style of cutting down the federal government. He also just sank $20 million into Wisconsins Supreme Court race only to have his Republican candidate lose. And stock in Tesla has dropped sharply with sales down and its car lots being set on fire . |
