Wisconsin Dem Chair Slams Elon Musk For Crossing 'That Line' In Deleted Election Post
HuffPost
Ben Wikler called on Musk to be "brought to justice" over his post, adding that Americans shouldn't accept "vote buying" in a democracy.
Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler shredded Elon Musk on Friday over the billionaire’s since-deleted post claiming he’d give millions of dollars to select voters amid a high-profile state Supreme Court race.
“He knows that that tweet was a crime, and it’s still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day,” Wikler told Ben Meiselas of the MeidasTouch Network.
“You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it’s a felony to cross that line.”
Musk took to his X platform, formerly Twitter, early Friday morning to declare that he’d “personally hand over” $1 million each to two people who voted in the state election.
On Friday, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul (D) filed a lawsuit against Musk and his America PAC over the billionaire’s offer, calling it an “egregious attempt to buy votes” and a “blatant attempt” to violate state law.
