Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is embroiled in controversy as Wisconsin's Democratic attorney general seeks to block him from distributing $1 million checks to voters just days before a crucial Supreme Court election in the state.

The attorney general, Josh Kaul, filed a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court to prevent Musk's planned giveaway, accusing him of potentially violating election laws meant to prevent undue influence on voters.

This high-stakes judicial race in Wisconsin has seen record-breaking spending and support from high-profile figures, including former President Donald Trump and billionaire George Soros, with implications for future legislative decisions on rights and power struggles in the state.
