Elon Musk deletes post promising $2m cash for voters who cast ballots in Supreme Court race
Billionaire Elon Musk has deleted a social media post in which he had announced plans to hold a rally in Wisconsin to “personally hand over” $2m (€1.85m) to a pair of voters who have already cast ballots in the state’s hotly contested Supreme Court race.
Mr Musk deleted the post from his social media platform, X, about 12 hours after he initially posted it late on Thursday night.
He posted that he planned to give $1m each to two voters at the event tomorrow, just two days before the election that will determine ideological control of the court in the battleground state.
The action was announced despite a Wisconsin law that explicitly prohibits giving anything of value in exchange for a vote.
