Not long ago, reporting had Musk dropping six figures on Brad Schimel. It’s seven figures now:
Elon Musk’s super PAC just dropped $1 million on increasing voter turnout for conservative Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, according to state election records.
America PAC, an unregistered committee, is spending $1 million on canvassing and field operations to aid Schimel in his race against liberal Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford. The winner of the April 1 election will decide the ideological bent of the high court.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Space X, has provided most of the funding for America PAC, which focuses on turning out low-propensity and first-time voters. The super PAC was active in Wisconsin before the November general election, helping President Donald Trump narrowly win the state.
