Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk spoke to a crowd of supporters on Sunday at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin, urging voters to participate in the state’s Supreme Court election on April 1.
Musk framed the election as not only crucial for President Donald Trump’s agenda but as an event that could “affect the entire destiny of humanity.”
Musk, wearing a foam cheesehead hat, told the crowd, “What’s happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives.”

He added that control of the House could ultimately steer the direction of Western civilization.
“Whichever party controls the House to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western civilization,” Musk explained.
“I feel like this is one of those things that may not seem that it’s going to affect the entire destiny of humanity, but I think it will.”

As part of his effort to raise awareness of the election, Musk handed out two $1 million checks to voters who signed his America PAC petition, which opposes “activist judges.”
Musk explained that the checks were a way to highlight the election and attract media attention.
“This is to bring attention to the election and to make the press lose their minds,” Musk said with a grin.
Musk continued to emphasize the election’s significance, stressing that the outcome could have major consequences not just for Wisconsin, but for the entire country and the world.
He spoke critically about the influence of federal judges, noting, “In D.C., any federal judge can stop any action by the president of the United States, and this is insane.”
He called for an end to such powers, which he said needed to be curtailed both at the federal and state levels.
Musk’s super PAC and other groups he funds have spent more than $20 million to support Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate in the race.
Schimel, the former attorney general of Wisconsin, is running against liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford.
A victory for Schimel would shift the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s current 4-3 liberal majority.
The race, which is officially nonpartisan, has become a de facto partisan contest due to heavy financial backing from donors and outside interest groups.
The election is expected to exceed the $50 million spent in the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court election, with both sides accusing each other of trying to “buy” the election.
The justices in this election are poised to make critical decisions on topics such as abortion and union rights.
They may also eventually hear a lawsuit involving Musk’s electric vehicle company, Tesla.
The April 1 election is seen as Trump’s first major test with swing-state voters after a turbulent period in office.
Musk, who is leading efforts to reduce the size of federal agencies as part of his role in the Department of Government Efficiency, has become a target of criticism from Democrats.
Despite this, he was deployed to help secure a victory in Wisconsin.
If Musk succeeds, it could solidify his position as a key figure in conservative circles, potentially setting the stage for future midterm elections.
However, a loss could allow Republicans to distance themselves from Musk and his more controversial actions.
At the rally, Musk described Schimel as the underdog and urged attendees to bring their friends, family, and neighbors to the polls.
“We’ve got to pull a rabbit out of the hat — next level,” he joked.
“We actually have to have a steady stream of rabbits out of the hat, like it’s an arc of rabbits flying through the air, and then landing in a voting booth.”
Elon Musk explains how the odds are currently stacked against the GOP in Wisconsin:
“We’ve gotta pull a rabbit out of the hat next level. We actually have to have a steady stream of rabbits out of the hat… We need to generate an anomaly in the matrix.”

Schimel, who was not present at the event, has publicly supported both Trump and Musk during his campaign.
He has also participated in get-out-the-vote efforts alongside Trump allies, including former Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
These figures also spoke at Musk’s America PAC town hall.
Outside the rally, a group of protesters gathered, holding signs reading “For Sale,” “Deport the Nazi,” and “Deport Elon.”
They chanted, “This is what democracy looks like.” Susan Miner, a homemaker from Waukesha, braved the freezing rain with her daughter and friend to protest the event.
“We are out here to show that Wisconsin can’t be bought,” she said, adding that the protest was an “important lesson in civics” for her daughter.
Just hours before Musk took the stage, Wisconsin’s high court rejected an effort by Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul to block Musk from distributing the $1 million checks.
Kaul had argued that Musk’s cash giveaway violated state laws prohibiting offering something of value in exchange for voting.
The court’s ruling allowed Musk’s actions to proceed as planned.
As Wisconsin voters head to the polls on April 1, the stakes are high, with Musk’s involvement and financial backing making the race one of the most heavily contested in the state’s history.
