Elon Musk handed out two $1 million checks on Sunday as prize money to Wisconsinites who signed an online petition by his political action group America PAC against “activist judges.”

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Sunday unanimously refused to hear a last-minute petition from the state’s attorney general to block the checks.
