MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Democrats’ victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big loss for Elon Musk. The billionaire supporter of President Donald Trump and his affiliated groups spent more than $21 million supporting the conservative in the race in hopes of breaking liberals’ 4-3 majority on the court. But the Democrats’ candidate, Judge Susan Crawford, won comfortably. She and Democrats made Musk’s spending the focus of their campaign. The election was the first test of Musk’s political impact since he skyrocketed in prominence by launching a controversial effort to slash the federal government in Trump’s administration.
