Now Musk Is Boosting Claims the Wisconsin Election Was ‘Stolen’
www.thedailybeast.com
After initially downplaying the vote’s importance, the world’s richest man was quick to promote accusations of electoral fraud.

Summary

Elon Musk, after spending $21 million backing conservative Brad Schimel in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, amplified election fraud claims following Schimel’s loss to liberal judge Susan Crawford.

Musk boosted a post by Alex Jones featuring Roger Stone, who alleged mail-in vote fraud. Schimel rejected the claims, urging supporters to accept the results.

Musk pivoted to highlighting a voter ID ballot measure, though Wisconsin already requires ID. Critics see his reaction as echoing Trump-era denialism.

Despite GOP pressure, Schimel’s concession stood out for its rare break from MAGA conspiracy rhetoric.

    Everything is stolen when your a South African Nazi fascist who was unable to buy the vote they wanted.

    Hey F’Elon; how about returning those billions of dollars you’ve stolen from the U.S. government (and many other governments) over the past decade.

    Fuck you Elon 🖕
