In March 2025, Elon Musk and his America PAC promised $2 million to Wisconsin voters, following controversial $1 million giveaways connected to his petition. Legal challenges arose, questioning the legality and selection process of the giveaways, with scams unrelated to PAC also noted.
The web search confirms that Elon Musk announced a giveaway leading up to a Wisconsin Supreme Court election. This was part of his efforts to support a specific conservative candidate. However, the amount involved was two $1 million prizes to two individuals, rather than a single $2 million giveaway to multiple voters. Legal action was indeed taken by the Wisconsin Attorney General to block these efforts, citing election law violations.
