Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed a lawsuit Friday against tech billionaire Elon Musk and his political committee, America PAC, seeking to block what Kaul alleged was an “egregious” and illegal scheme to sway voters days before a pivotal state Supreme Court election.

Kaul’s complaint, filed in Dane County Circuit Court on March 28, targets Musk’s announcement that two Wisconsin voters would be picked to receive $1 million each at a Sunday event—on the condition that they vote in the April 1 election. The high-stakes election will determine whether the high court remains a 4–3 liberal majority or flips to a conservative majority.
