Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk on Friday regarding Musk’s proposal to award two individuals $1 million for voting in the state’s Supreme Court race. 

“The Wisconsin Department of Justice is committed to guaranteeing that elections in Wisconsin are conducted in a safe, secure, free, and fair manner. We are aware of the offer made by Elon Musk to grant one million dollars to two individuals at an event in Wisconsin this weekend,” Kaul stated to The Hill.

Kaul’s case has been assigned to Susan Crawford, Brad Schimel’s liberal opponent. A representative for Crawford informed The Hill that she will recuse herself from overseeing the case.

The lawsuit follows Musk’s announcement that he will visit the Badger State in support of Schimel on Sunday.

“I will also personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each in appreciation for you taking the time to vote. This is super important,” Musk wrote Friday morning ahead of his visit.

Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party in Wisconsin, immediately labeled Musk’s plan as a violation of state law. 

The Tesla CEO, who has spent millions of dollars on the race, which will decide the ideological balance of the court, later deleted the post and clarified his intentions.

“On Sunday night, I will give a talk in Wisconsin. To clarify a previous post, entrance is limited to those who have signed the petition in opposition to activist judges,” Musk wrote.

“I will also hand over checks for a million dollars to 2 people to be spokesmen for the petition,” he added.

Despite the change, officials say Musk’s statement conflicts with Wisconsin state law, which says that anyone who “offers, gives, lends or promises to give or lend, or endeavors to procure, anything of value, or any office or employment or any privilege or immunity to, or for, any elector, or to or for any other person, in order to induce any elector to” go or not go to the polls, or vote or not vote, is illegal.

Schimel and Crawford are competing for an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which currently has a 3-3 ideological split. The election is on April 1.
