Billionaire Elon Musk may be charged with violating Wisconsin's election bribery law, according to the state's Elections Commission.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission has found that Musk's offer of $1 million checks to voters during a Wisconsin Supreme Court election in March 2025 could be a breach of the state's election bribery law.
The commission, which consists of three Republicans and three Democrats, voted 5-1 to forward two complaints against Musk to the Brown County District Attorney's office, Emilee Miklas, the commission's Communications Director, told CBS News on Tuesday.
The commission approved a motion finding "probable cause" that Musk violated a state law prohibiting the offering of "anything of value" to influence a person to vote.
The complaint focuses on Musk's cash giveaway program for voters who signed petitions organized by his political group, a practice that began during President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign and continued through Wisconsin's April 2025 judicial election.
