拉克罗斯县地区检察官蒂姆·格鲁恩克（Tim Gruenke）被任命为特别检察官，他宣布不会对埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）提起选举贿赂指控 1。该事件发生在2025年3月威斯康星州最高法院选举前，马斯克当时发帖承诺向投票者发放100万美元 1。格鲁恩克表示：“无论第一篇帖子如何被看待，最终没有人因为投票或承诺投票而获得任何有价值的报酬”，因此检方认为无法说服陪审团认定其行为构成贿赂 1。
马斯克最初发帖称，他将亲自向投票者递交两张各100万美元的支票，但在不到一天后替换了该帖子，称参与仅限于签署反对“活动家法官”请愿书的人 1。此次威斯康星州最高法院选举的花费超过1亿美元，创下美国司法选举的历史纪录 1。马斯克及其支持的团体花费了至少2000万美元支持共和党候选人布拉德·希梅尔（Brad Schimel），但希梅尔最终以10个百分点的劣势败给了民主党支持的苏珊·克劳福德（Susan Crawford） 1。
Elon Musk will not face election bribery charges for promising to give $1 million to voters in a social media post ahead of the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election 1. La Crosse County District Attorney Tim Gruenke, who was appointed as a special prosecutor for the case, announced the decision after concluding that he could not convince a jury that the actions constituted bribery 1. The incident occurred in March 2025, when Musk posted that he would "personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each" to those who voted 1. Less than a day later, Musk replaced the post, stating that attendance was limited to those who had signed a petition against activist judges 1. Addressing the situation, Gruenke stated, "Either way the first post is perceived, in the end nobody was paid anything of value for voting or promising to vote" 1.
The legal scrutiny took place during a highly expensive judicial race, with spending on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election topping $100 million, making it the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history 1. During the campaign, Musk and the groups he supported spent at least $20 million backing Republican candidate Brad Schimel 1. Despite the financial backing, Schimel lost the election by 10 percentage points to Susan Crawford, who was supported by Democrats 1.
