GREEN BAY – Elon Musk is scheduled to hold a town hall Sunday night in Green Bay ahead of the April 1 election.
The billionaire has already poured in millions of dollars into the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court race to back Waukesha County judge and conservative candidate Brad Schimel over Dane County judge and liberal candidate Susan Crawford.
Musk, the world’s richest person, initially said he will give out two $1 million checks to people who have already voted. However, by late Friday morning, Musk’s post has since been deleted. Musk owns X.
Shortly after, though, he posted again, clarifying that the checks would be given to individuals who would serve as spokespeople for his “Petition In Opposition To Activist Judges.” The new post also no longer said attendance would be limited “to those who have voted in the Supreme Court election,” as the original post had said.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, sued Musk over the payments. A Court of Appeals rejected Kaul’s lawsuit on Saturday.
Where is the Elon Musk rally in Green Bay?
Late Friday, Musk announced that he’ll be holding the event at a yet-to-be announced venue will begin at 6:30 p.m. in Green Bay
In the second post, he just wrote that he’ll give a talk in the state and that entrance will be limited to those who’ve signed the petition against “activist judges.”
While no location for the town hall has been announced, the group Working Families Power will hold a “Stop Elon Musk” rally starting at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at 300 Main St., which is across the street from the KI Convention Center in downtown Green Bay.
Elon Musk Wisconsin petition, America PAC
Musk’s giveaway to Wisconsin voters comes after a Green Bay man received $1 million from Elon Musk’s super PAC, America PAC, for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.
The man, who has been identified as Scott Ainsworth, signed Musk’s “Petition In Opposition To Activist Judges.”
America PAC also said it’ll pay Wisconsin voters $100 to sign the petition, Axios reported. The plan could be illegal under state law, one Wisconsin election lawyer said. It’s illegal for voters to receive or accept any money for their vote, according to state statutes.
Elon Musk attends a Trump Cabinet meeting at the White House on March 24, 2025.
Musk has spent $11.5 million through America PAC to promote Schimel and attack Crawford in the Supreme Court race. He’s the largest donor in the race for either campaign.
Musk has funneled in nearly $20 million in support of Schimel, campaign records show. Musk, who campaigned for Trump in the 2024 presidential election, gave away millions of dollars last fall through his political action committee in swing states. Legal challenges failed.
When Trump won the presidency, he made Musk the head of DOGE, which he started that has gone on to fire thousands of federal employees from agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, National Park Service, the Agriculture Department and more.
