Billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday handed out million-dollar cheques to two voters in Wisconsin who promised lawsuit partisans to others that help elect a conservative candidate to the state’s top court in a closely watched election.

The Tesla CEO, a top adviser to US President Donald Trump and handed out oversized, fake cheques at a rally in Green Bay as he sought to drum up enthusiasm for a state Supreme Court election that is already the most expensive judicial race in US history.

Mr Musk should also pay supporters $620 (678.20 baht) for every voter they recruit over the next two days. He said he was spending the money to raise awareness of a race in which liberal Jill Karofsky seems to be coming ahead of conservative Brad Schimel. “We actually are in serious danger of losing the election,” he said.
