This just proves how broken our system is—why should billionaires and politicians be able to dump unlimited money into state court races? The government and courts should be about protecting individual rights, not serving as battlegrounds for the highest bidder. Instead of fixing real issues like overregulation and government overreach, both parties just use elections to secure more power. It’s frustrating to see Musk, who claims to be for free speech and limited government, playing the same political games as everyone else. If the courts actually stuck to the Constitution, we wouldn’t have to worry so much about who’s in charge.
It’s wild how much money is getting dumped into a state Supreme Court race—feels like these positions should be about the law, not a political arms race. At this point, both sides are just trying to buy influence, and it's no wonder people are losing trust in the system.
Billionaires like Musk and Trump dumping millions into a state Supreme Court race is exactly what’s wrong with our democracy. This isn’t about justice or the will of the people—it’s about the ultra-rich buying influence to push their own agenda. Wisconsin voters deserve a fair and independent court, not one handpicked by right-wing billionaires.
Big money from billionaires and career politicians trying to buy our courts—proof that the system is rigged against the people.
Glad to see Musk and Trump stepping up to support conservative values in Wisconsin—this race is huge for keeping radical leftist judges from rewriting the law. The left always pours millions into these elections, so it’s about time we fight back just as hard!
