Democrats are making Elon Musk a focal point in their latest campaign ads, using his financial influence in politics to rally voters ahead of Wisconsin’s crucial Supreme Court race.
Musk has poured millions into supporting Republican candidate Brad Schimel, prompting Democrats to strike back by featuring him in their messaging.
According to reports, Democratic strategists view Musk as a symbol of billionaire influence in politics, a theme they believe will energize their base.
Their ads highlight Musk’s ties to conservative causes and his financial support of Donald Trump-aligned candidates. Wisconsin Democrats have framed the election as a battle against right-wing extremism, arguing that Musk’s involvement is an attempt to shape the courts in favor of corporate interests.
Musk’s America PAC has also launched national ads praising Trump’s presidency, further tying him to Republican efforts. While Musk has positioned himself as politically independent, his financial contributions to conservative candidates have made him a lightning rod for Democratic attacks.
The high-stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court race could determine future rulings on issues like abortion rights and election laws, making it a key battleground. With Musk now in the political crossfire, both parties are using his influence to sway voters, underscoring how billionaire backing is becoming a defining issue in campaign messaging.
