Let’s talk about the most important election in the country that you might not have heard about: Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. The outcome will determine whether the court maintains a pro-democracy majority—or if it becomes another rubber stamp for MAGA extremism. And guess who’s trying to buy it? Elon Musk.
I sat down with Judge Susan Crawford, who is running to keep Wisconsin’s Supreme Court from falling into the hands of far-right Trump loyalist Brad Schimel. Musk has already dumped millions into deceptive attack ads against her. Why? Because Wisconsin’s courts matter—to Trump, to MAGA, and to Musk’s wallet.
As Judge Crawford put it bluntly: “He doesn’t care about Wisconsin. He’s never been here. He doesn’t even know who he’s running these ads against.” And if you need proof that this is nothing more than a power grab, the first attack ad against Crawford used a photo of a completely different Susan Crawford—because these right-wing billionaires don’t care about facts.
Brad Schimel isn’t just another conservative judge. He is a full-on MAGA extremist.
He believes the Wisconsin Supreme Court "screwed over" Donald Trump by not overturning the 2020 election.
He has openly stated he wants to be part of a "support network" for Trump.
He is running with Musk’s millions behind him, because they know he will do the bidding of billionaires and far-right extremists, not the people of Wisconsin.
Schimel’s election would mean a far-right Wisconsin Supreme Court, one that could gut reproductive rights, healthcare access, environmental protections, and public safety laws. This is about more than just one seat—it’s about whether Wisconsin’s highest court protects people or corporate power.
It’s not just about politics—it’s about profit. Judge Crawford explained that Musk has personal financial interests in Wisconsin’s legal system, including a Tesla lawsuit trying to overturn state laws preventing direct car sales. He doesn’t want a fair court. He wants a bought-and-paid-for justice.
And let’s not forget DOGE—Musk’s shadow government. His crew of unelected, unqualified lackeys is already invading people’s privacy, digging through medical records, tax information, and personal data. Wisconsin voters are furious at what Doge is doing—and if Schimel wins, that government overreach will get a hundred times worse.
Judge Crawford isn’t running to serve billionaires or MAGA extremists. She’s running to be a fair and impartial justice who upholds the law and protects the people of Wisconsin.
“I never lose sight of the fact that the decisions I make as a judge involve real people and real problems,” she said. “We need a Wisconsin Supreme Court that works for the people—not for Elon Musk, and not for Donald Trump.”
Wisconsin’s election is April 1st—and it could decide the future of democracy in one of the country’s most critical swing states. If you live in Wisconsin, VOTE. If you don’t, help spread the word—because Musk and MAGA are already spending millions to take this seat.
This is how we fight back.
