(Wisconsin Radio Network) A new lawsuit accuses Elon Musk of “a brazen scheme” to bribe Wisconsinites to vote in the state Supreme Court race.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, filed on behalf of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign and two voters in Dane County Circuit Court, the suit alleges Musk and his affiliated political organizations engaged in a conspiracy to violate state laws against election bribery and unlawful lotteries.

The lawsuit alleges that, in the closing days of the election, Musk injected tens of millions into the race, including paying millions directly to voters to influence them to vote for his endorsed candidate, Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel.

Registered voters were offered $100 to sign a petition that echoed Schimel’s campaign rhetoric. They also offered million dollar “awards” for Wisconsinites who signed that petition and voted or promised to vote.

Musk stated that the $1 million awards would be given “in appreciation for you taking the time to vote.” Schimel lost to Dane County Judge Susan Crawford by ten points.
