Elon Musk has provoked further accusations of ‘buying elections’ after handing out $1 million cheques to voters at an event in Wisconsin ahead of the state’s supreme court election.
Musk has put millions towards the campaign of conservative candidate Brad Schimel, and has described Tuesday’s election as vital for the "future of civilisation" and for Donald Trump’s second-term agenda.
The Talking Politics USA team explain how it’s been allowed to happen, why Elon Musk cares so much about the Wisconsin supreme court election, and whether the world’s richest man will continue to hold similar cash giveaways ahead of US elections.
