Elon Musk has reacted to Judge Susan Crawford defeating conservative-backed candidate Brad Schimel for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
“The long con of the left is corruption of the judiciary,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, early Wednesday.
Musk and groups he backed spent more than $21 million in an effort to defeat Crawford. He also traveled to Wisconsin two days before the election to hand over $1 million checks to two voters.
Crawford’s win preserves a narrow liberal majority on the court, which will likely decide cases on abortion, voting rules and congressional district boundaries in the coming years.

Despite Crawford’s win, Musk celebrated Wisconsin voters for approving a voter ID referendum, which he said was the “most important thing.”
Musk had repeatedly emphasized the stakes of the state Supreme Court race prior to the vote, saying that it could determine “the future of civilization.”
