Musk’s conservative nonprofit contributing to Wisconsin Supreme Court race

A conservative nonprofit backed by billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk is getting involved in a race that will determine the political direction of the highest court in one of the country’s most important presidential battleground states. The group Building America’s Future is spending $1.6 million on television ads in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race that started airing Thursday and will run for two weeks in the state’s five largest media markets. The spending comes after Musk posted a message last month on X, the social media platform he owns, drawing attention to the race and calling for the Republican to win. The April 1 contest will determine whether the court will remain controlled by liberal justices or flip to a conservative majority.
