Elon Musk won’t face election bribery charges in Wisconsin, state prosecutor says

Elon Musk will not face election bribery charges in Wisconsin, according to a state prosecutor. The prosecutor claimed that no jury would find that Musk's promise to give $1 million to voters in the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election constitutes election bribery. Musk, the founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla, made the promise days before the election.

However, Musk later amended his post to state that attendance would be limited to those who signed a petition, and he replaced the promise of checks with the promise of advocating for the petition. District Attorney Tim Gruenke, who was appointed as a special prosecutor due to a conflict of interest, stated that he did not believe a jury could convict Musk of a crime after considering the intent, the second post, and the fact that nothing of value was ever given to anyone for voting.
