Musk has characterized the elections in apocalyptic terms with the “fate of humanity” and the future of “world” at stake, observing that the court could redesign the Wisconsin’s congress maps while the Republicans have only a subtle majority in the room of representatives.
“If you lose control of the chamber, there will be hearings relentlessly at the impeachment, there will be unabated hearings and quotes, they will do everything possible to stop the agenda for which the American people voted”. Musk told Fox News Channel’s The five Tuesday before the polls closure.
Wisconsin voters “reject” Trump and Musk and groups of special right interest on the right, according to the president of the National Democratic Committee Ken Martin.
“And their message? Stay out of our elections and stay away from our courts – Wisconsin is not on sale,” he said in a statement following his expected victory.
“This was a Susan-Court-Goliath struggle of biblical proportions,” said Wikler, president of the State Democratic Party, in a note.
He said the elections “show that Musk and Trump went too far, and any allied politician with them could quickly face the end of their political career”.
