Exclusive: WI Dem Chair Says Elon Musk Committed State Felony

I spoke with Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler about Musk's attack on democracy, his attempt to buy the state's Supreme Court seat, and more.

By Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump dressed up like a damn garbage man in Wisconsin and said he alone could fix everything. Prices? Fixed. Ukraine war? Solved in 24 hours. Housing? No problem. Except, of course, he was lying—and now, voters in Wisconsin are absolutely furious.

That’s part of what I discussed with Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, in our latest interview. Because while Trump’s MAGA cosplay and broken promises were ridiculous enough, what’s happening now is downright criminal.

Elon Musk—yes, the same billionaire who thinks laws don’t apply to him—is trying to literally buy a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin. Musk posted (and later deleted, and reposted) a tweet offering $1 million each to people who show up to a town hall after voting in the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court election. He even made attendance contingent on proof of voting.

Wikler was blunt: that’s illegal. Under Wisconsin law, promising anything of value—even a dollar—to induce someone to vote is a felony. Musk offered millions.

And who’s the guy Musk is trying to help win? MAGA loyalist Brad Schimel—a man who dressed up like Trump for Halloween and proudly called it an “honor” to be the named defendant in a Planned Parenthood case. This isn’t just a race—it’s a test of whether billionaires can buy our courts and crush democracy in the process.

Schimel’s opponent, Judge Susan Crawford, couldn’t be a sharper contrast. She’s a proven public servant who’s defended reproductive freedom, voting rights, workers’ rights—and who applies the law equally, whether you're Elon Musk or an everyday Wisconsinite.

So here’s the bottom line: this is a must-win election. It’s about stopping Trump, stopping Musk, and stopping MAGA extremism from taking over our courts. But most of all, it’s about showing that our democracy isn’t for sale.

To those who want to fight back, visit CrawfordForWI.com and WisDems.org to learn more. Volunteer. Knock on doors. Make calls. Because what happens in Wisconsin could decide the future of this country.

Let’s show the oligarchs that no matter how much money they throw around, the people still have the power.

This reply has a “let them eat cake” tone. Who will prosecute? Everyone who makes a move for justice finds themselves on the list as an enemy of the state if not in a concentration camp

This is the very attitude that allowed the rise of Hitler. Wisconsin has to prosecute. Otherwise they’re sending out a message of acquiescence.

Which is why we need civil disobedience

Historically, distupting normal business and boycotting wealthy oligarch's businesses have moved oligarchs to withdraw support from dictators and led to their removal. Protests in DC are cool but parking protests - filling up Walmart and Whole Foods parking lots (no signs) between 11-3 & 4-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (and Weekdays ) will have a much more powerful affect. Add Tmobile partnering with Starlink, etc.

Tyler: you are exactly right. From what I understand, the evidence that you have published/made public an off that you will pay someone (even as little as $1, let alone a sum of $1,000,000!) is a felony crime in the state of Wisconsin, then the AG for that state SHOULD FILE charges for that crime against Elon Musk!! If that is on the books, to discourage it from happening in the first place, yet it is done anyway, it shows a “lawless attitude” and an “I am above the law” mentality. In that case, “the Law” needs to slap him hard in order to get 1.) his attention; and 2, his respect for the law. So he can come to understand that the law is here and on the books for the benefit and protection of all… and, it is especially to be used for those who think they can violate it at will simply because they don’t want to be burdened with obeying it themselves.

As our Creator God has let us know in Romans 13:1-8, He is the One who set forth the law and remanded the civil violation of the laws to be censored by civilian authorities who are to render punishment for their violations, when violated.

Notice verses 2-4: “Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of god, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.”

In the State of Wisconsin (and all other States), the Attorney General is the top Law Enforcement Official, and I think something like this flagrant and disrespect for the law should be handled by him, or upon his direction. (That’s why, as a citizen of the State of Florida, and as one who has voted for Pam Bondi in every statewide election she has ever run in, I had voted for her…. Because I had believed that she was a true believer in The Law and its equal application of it as our Creator has instituted it (see Romans 13:1 for that word ‘instituted’ in the Holy Scriptures); but she was won over to a person and ‘his will’ and ‘his law’ and his personal desire for getting his revenge…. and she has sold out her soul for the benefits of her benefactor (the WRONG ONE she is looking to) naming her as our nation’s AG…. and her actions thus far are proving that she understood what that appointment meant when he offered her the role…. “remember that I am your client; and I want you to use the law to shut up those who disagree with me; and I want you to use the powers of that Agency/Department to put the fear of God into them”……

……. When she ought to, instead, have the fear of God in her” and be fearing what He is going to do to her once she dies!

There is a discount outlet called Ollie's in the southeast and one of their featured products is a Trump wall clock with his ghastly visage on the face of the clock (won't be the first time he's been proven two-faced). I notified Ollie's that I considered it beneath the office of president to hawk cheap digital clocks with his brand on it, and I would not be patronizing Ollie's anymore. My wife suggested I buy them all and destroy them publicly, but I figured they'd just see how fast they sold and order more. This country is more insane by the day, all because of one deranged moron who shouldn't be allowed to manage a porta-potty.

“LOCK HIM UP”!

Expand full comment

It might be a case of what Musk said is not the same as doing. No money changed hands, apparently. So no crime committed. Up to now, it’s “free speech” territory.

I could be wrong. YMMV.

Expand full comment

"No money changed hands ..."

Ummmm ... not quite.

"A Wisconsin judge on Saturday declined to stop billionaire Elon Musk from handing over $1 million checks to two voters in the state at a planned rally days before the closely contested Supreme Court election. The state attorney general, who argues that the offer violates the law, immediately appealed after the judge refused to hear the request for an emergency injunction to block the payments."

Expand full comment

They need to start naming these judges that are supporting musk and trump

Expand full comment

Interesting. So the demonstration of intent to break the law is a chargeable crime. Did I get that right? Hmmm.

Expand full comment

So you’re argument is that if I held a gun to your head but it misfired, no crime occurred?

Expand full comment

If I did that to somebody my ass would be in jail so quickly my head would spin! That judge is really reaching here.

Expand full comment

Well, here we get into the nuances of law. Uttering a death threat is a whole different ball of wax and is clearly defined in law. Plus the threat you posed goes completely beyond words. So, a false equivalency, IMHO.

Expand full comment

A bank transfer is still money changing hands and would be easier to prove then actual hand to hand payment. WI needs to offer a reward of some sort, doesn’t need to monetary, for someone coming forward to testify that musk is in fact doing this with proof to help prosecute him.

Expand full comment

True. But my point is, regardless of transfer method, no actual transaction took place. So, is a stated intent a criminal act in this instance?

I’m not a lawyer, but curious. If intent is the same as an actual act, then the prosecutor should be doing more than passing a warning.

Expand full comment

I agree totally this seems more serious than a warning! Also, if money hasn’t changed hands how are all these people being paid their $100 that started a week or so ago? This isn’t just about the million dollar payouts.

Expand full comment

It is very much about intent. Intent to sway an election, which is illegal.

Expand full comment

Musk buying a Supreme Court justice is horrible but in fighting this corruption we need to be scrupulous in reporting truthfully. "Musk posted (and later deleted, and reposted) a tweet offering $1 million each to people who show up to a town hall after voting in the critical Wisconsin Supreme Court election". This quote is not correct, he offered $1 million to 2 people attending not all attendees. This is a small error but one that Meidas touch has repeated on multiple platforms. When fighting liars it is especially important to be prudent in truth telling so we give the opposition no reason to also claim we are liars.

Expand full comment

The money has to be given to the person and then Musk can be charged with a crime of bribery. The person accepting the money can also be charged with accepting the money as a bribe.

Expand full comment

Money did change hands in exchange for the person being a "spokesperson" for Elon's petition against "activist judges". However the law says it is illegal to OFFER anything in exchange for votes. He offered even if he hadn't carried through.

and lawsuits for all the jobs he unnecessarily fired. COMPENSATION to Federal workers

"Elon Musk is rushing to shore up our MAGA opponent in the FL06 special election — committing millions to unplanned last-minute MASSIVE ad buys to rescue his floundering campaign, after Steve Bannon warned they are losing.

But Musk isn’t stopping there. We’re hearing reports that Musk’s PAC is paying voters $100 to show up and vote Republican, the same dirty trick he pulled in the 2024 presidential race, that gave Trump a critical boost in the final month of the election.

And where Musk and Bannon lead, the rest of MAGA follows.

Look, let’s be frank and just call it what it is: MAGA is trying to steal this election.

They know that if they lose here, it will stop their attempts to punish their political opponents and sell off the federal government to their billionaire buddies.

That’s why things are incredibly urgent right now. This flood of outside spending means that we have to load the boat: TV, digital, mail, phone calls, and the most aggressive and effective ground game Florida has ever seen.

The very future of our country depends on leaving it all on the field here. Can you send in some much-needed reinforcements to fight Musk and the MAGA machine with a donation of literally any amount today -- split with Gay Valimont?

We simply cannot afford to let up. Thank you for your support in these crucial final days of this special election."

"Last week, the Trump administration pulled funding for research to protect pregnant women from domestic violence, citing it as a “DEI” initiative.

The affected project would have created a multi-day training program for OBGYNs and other healthcare professionals to help spot the correlation between domestic violence and pregnancy.

In the United States, the number one cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women is homicide by an abusive partner. This demographic is also more than twice as likely to be murdered than to die from sepsis, hypertensive disorders, or hemorrhage.

To put it mildly, updates like these make my blood boil—especially when I think about the future my daughter will inherit.

What world will she grow up in if things stay on this track?

Will she have autonomy over her own body, able to decide if, when, and with whom to grow a family? Will there be resources to protect her against intimate partner violence?

Will she have access to the full spectrum of healthcare, even if she falls on hard times, no matter her zipcode?

Will she be able to exercise other basic, fundamental rights, like freedom of speech, without fear of persecution?

As parents, we all want our kids to have every possibility ahead of them. That’s why this recent attack on “DEI” resources for women infuriates me not just as a woman, but as a mother to a daughter.

These direct attacks make clear that our efforts to protect reproductive freedom, comprehensive healthcare, and fundamental civil liberties are all intertwined. We’re working to build a future where all of us, especially our kids, can realize our full potential.

Thank you for being with us."

"The war on women has new momentum now that MAGA is back in power, and it could ultimately lead to American women losing the right to vote, argued a senior writer at Salon.

Amanda Marcotte wrote in Wednesday's piece that Donald Trump's success in repealing Roe — the landmark 1973 decision that gave women automony over their own bodies — has emboldened right-wing factions looking to strip women of even more rights.

Marcotte posted that "many on the right feel they no longer need to hide the naked sexism fueling their movement or put up with the annoyance of women in even token leadership positions," now that Trump is once again in charge.

"Forty-five percent of female voters backed Trump in 2024, despite his overt misogyny," Marcotte wrote. "Most, no doubt, believed that complicity would protect them, and that the attacks would be centered on other women. But while the GOP certainly wants to strip liberal and feminist women of their rights, male MAGA leaders are showing increasing interest in bringing Republican women to heel, both culturally and through the force of law."

Elon is too big too fail or jail. Laws do not apply to him. Even if he was determined to break a law the penalty would be like $500. Corporations break laws regularly and the "fines" or so miniscule that they are willing to pay the fine because the profit for breaking the law was much more lucrative. That is how America works and always has. This is the Legacy of the Republican AND the Democratic Party elected officials.

The highest court and last line of defence in American democracy is on the precipice of destruction.

The pin is out, the grenade ready to be thrown.

But Musk has given Trump opposition an absolute gift! He's dropped both the grenade and pin, creating an opportunity to put the pin back in.

They're both in your hands Wisconsin.

It's up to you to stop the catastrophic destruction of the democratic government system and restore some real power for democracy.

Show the rest of America what true democracy is and that voting matters! Make history by voting for Susan Crawford.

Susan would play a vital, pivotal role in stabilising the Supreme Court and provide the necessary checks and balances.

Put the pin back in the grenade!

Greg Palast has published a barrel of evidence that Musk/Trump stole the 2024 election, and are prepared to repeat the theft in 2026 and 2028 (see https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-executive-order-gives-doge-access-to-voter-rolls/

and many other links). Given the essentially-criminal nature of the fraud, the mega-billion$ of Musk, and their effective ownership of what used to be OUR government, including the Supreme Court, could "Agent Orange" be removed (perhaps in conjunction with the 25th Amendment)? If there's no other alternative, could some element of our military do the job (with a rapid post-removal return to civilian control)? This is said in the context of Trump threatening the declaration of Martial Law.

The ability to establish and remove federal courts does fall under Congress in Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artIII-S1-8-5/ALDE_00013561/

They also have the ability to fund or defund them. Question is, will they? and how many votes in the Senate does it take to pass what would no doubt be a very unpopular thing to do?

I also read, but needs more research, that if they abolish a court and get rid of a judge, that does NOT get rid of their past rulings and they would have to get another judge to pass a new ruling. So this is no easy task no matter how you look at it. Also, it could end differently than the "r's" want it to, so it is a big risk for them.

"Last week, the Trump administration pulled funding for research to protect pregnant women from domestic violence, citing it as a “DEI” initiative.

The affected project would have created a multi-day training program for OBGYNs and other healthcare professionals to help spot the correlation between domestic violence and pregnancy.

In the United States, the number one cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women is homicide by an abusive partner. This demographic is also more than twice as likely to be murdered than to die from sepsis, hypertensive disorders, or hemorrhage.

To put it mildly, updates like these make my blood boil—especially when I think about the future my daughter will inherit.

What world will she grow up in if things stay on this track?

Will she have autonomy over her own body, able to decide if, when, and with whom to grow a family? Will there be resources to protect her against intimate partner violence?

Will she have access to the full spectrum of healthcare, even if she falls on hard times, no matter her zipcode?

Will she be able to exercise other basic, fundamental rights, like freedom of speech, without fear of persecution?

As parents, we all want our kids to have every possibility ahead of them. That’s why this recent attack on “DEI” resources for women infuriates me not just as a woman, but as a mother to a daughter.

These direct attacks make clear that our efforts to protect reproductive freedom, comprehensive healthcare, and fundamental civil liberties are all intertwined. We’re working to build a future where all of us, especially our kids, can realize our full potential.

Thank you for being with us."

'"I don't think she much cares': Lawyer says Pam Bondi is thumbing her nose at John Roberts.

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts, recently made a rare statement about not calling for the impeachment of judges who rule against you, but that isn't stopping Pam Bondi.

MSNBC legal analyst, Lisa Rubin, appeared on the news outlet on Saturday, and was asked by the host about a recent comment the Attorney General made regarding judges she wished to be "removed", after they ruled against President Donald Trump.

Rubin interpreted Bondi as saying either they would be recused from the case, or be impeached."

"But Pam Bondi, is she not hearing what Supreme Court Justice John Roberts said, that impeachment is not a venue for this kind of activity?" the host asked.

Rubin replied, "I don't think that Pam Bondi much cares."

"In some respects, nobody expects these judges to be impeached because as you know... in addition to passing an impeachment resolution in the House, then you have to two thirds of the Senate convict," Rubin added Saturday. "But Pam Bondi isn't trying to win votes in the Senate... this is a MAGA talking point, not something she's trying to win in the legal realm." (Raw Story)......

'"Big risks': How the rushed Social Security overhaul is threatening benefits for millions.

The Trump Administration, with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Assistance (DOGE), is targeting a wide range of federal government agencies for mass layoffs — including the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA).

The SSA was established 90 years ago, when Congress passed the Social Security Act of 1935, and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed it into law as part of his New Deal.

Social Security was one of FDR's most important accomplishments, and the programs defenders — including former SSA Commissioner/ex-Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley — are warning that SSA layoffs could lead to delayed Social Security benefits for millions of seniors.

The Trump Administration and DOGE, O'Malley warns, are laying off so many knowledgeable SSA employees that it will be difficult for the agency to function in the months ahead." (Raw Story)......

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his soul?" ~ Mark 8:36.

(In Matthew 16:26, Jesus asks, "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"

This highlights the transcendental value of the soul over worldly gain, and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing spiritual well-being and following Christ, even at the cost of worldly success.)

Dear Everyone, if Wisconsin votes for the fascist judge it’s time to STOP BUYING anything made in Wisconsin. Get your dairy products and anything manufactured in Wisconsin from elsewhere.

Cabot cheese is wonderful and it’s made in the great state of Bernie Sanders and Ben & Jerry’s Vermont.

If Wisconsin votes for the nice non-fascist lady; Make extra effort to BUY Wisconsin cheese.

When the ppl do the right thing under intense pressure, corruption, propaganda, and scrutiny - they should always ALWAYS be rewarded for that.

Here’s a list of the larger Wisconsin manufacturers. But as always & for the foreseeable future ; look at every god damn thing you buy and do not buy a god damn thing if that product supports fascists.

Can I win the $1M check if I voted, but didn't vote for Trump/Elon's candidate? What are the rules of this award? Does Musk's "petition" allow for a disagreement notation to his proposal therein?

I'd LOVE to see Musk in jail, in Wisconsin, in winter with no heating and no meal delivery!

But Ben, he has already made one payment. Wouldn't this mean he's already broken the law and charges should have been filed?

This piece raises important questions about the boundaries of influence and the integrity of our democratic systems. Regardless of individual intent, it’s essential that every action connected to the electoral process aligns with the law to maintain public trust. True democracy thrives not through power or wealth, but through transparency, accountability, and the collective commitment to fairness. Even the smallest breach can ripple across public perception—while even 1% of integrity, consistently upheld, can strengthen the foundation of the whole.

Trump does not care. All he does is eat and play golf. He delegates everything, so when something goes awry, he claims not knowing about it, or blaming someone else. He doesn't accept responsibility or accountability that the buck stops at him. He is a weak, feloneous, vile, lying piss poor definition of a man, let alone a president. He is the devil incarnate.

Thanks to Ben for updating us on the situation. I wrote 100 letters for Susan Crawford and now, more than ever before, understand how critical this race is. I'm hoping all the people of Wisconsin will get out and vote for their sake and for the sake of the rest of our nation. Thank you.

Elections are the key to winning against Trump. He can’t continue if the people vote him out. Support and defend the one thing that he can’t buy. Our Votes.

We know he’s a problem. Votes are the solution. Election integrity, election preparation.

Florida....please don't sell out your state and country for Musk's dirty, filthy money. It will ultimately come back to bite you, because Trump and Musk don't care about you. If they did, they wouldn't be trying to buy your vote. They would be helping families solve their everyday issues. Buying your vote only makes them more powerful and richer....not you. Selling your vote is selling your soul to Trump and Musk. They are the devil incarnate.

How would you feel if your trusted friend began talking trash about you?

Americans need to stand up for our allies who are being disgustingly denigrated by the Nazi regime Absolutely distrustful actions that the Orange Nazi strongman bully has made toward our friends Canada, Denmark, and states in Europe In general our allies have begun to cut ties with America with hurt feelings SHAME SHAME SHAME ON AMERICA These countries love and respected us and now they are being disrespected and cultural ties are being severed The fraying of human trust is becoming obvious

Our allies thick and thin are disheartened and dispirited by how their “friend” has treated them and are confused and disappointed Their trust has been breached and it will be hard to ever it get back if ever But the Nazi regime could care less about those who have stood by us through thick and this because they have no loyalty to anyone and are basically immoral Now our allies see America as an adversary

The American people need to WAKE UP and show their outrage at this immoral depravity the the Nazi regime is showing to our once loyal friends who have stood by and with us for 7 decades

Complacency is the enemy to holding onto democracy Protest Donate Encourage friends family neighbors to get involved

I'm so happy Meidas interviewed Ben Wikler.

I was reading yesterday that last time musk gave away the $1 million cheque, it was given to his staff member. So was it really a legitimate win by a random voter or a con?

It's also a concern that musk could rig this election as well. He's desperate to win and have free reign to commit even more crimes. Election Truth Alliance will be watching. Election Truth Alliance has proof musk rigged the election for trump to win.
