Better take more ketamine...

I never actually understood why getting a conservative state Supreme Court in Wisconsin entrenched for some years was supposed to be so important anyway, but if Elon doesn't get the message that his personal brand is poison at the moment after spending millions on this pointless exercise, he'll never learn.

MADISON, Wis. — A liberal candidate for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court glided to victory Tuesday, overcoming a flood of political cash from tech billionaire Elon Musk in a race seen as a referendum on him and President Donald Trump.

The Associated Press called the race a little over an hour after the polls closed.

Musk and groups affiliated with him invested more than $20 million in the race. The top Trump adviser and leader of Tesla and SpaceX handed out cash prizes to generate interest in the race. At a rally Sunday in Green Bay, Wisconsin, he cast the election as one that could chart the course of Western civilization because of what it could mean for Trump’s agenda.

But Musk’s spending and hyperbolic framing weren’t enough to win the most expensive court race in U.S. history. The contest cost more than $100 million, nearly doubling the past record and putting it in line with top Senate races.

ve written about this but anyone who thinks Musk is a genius is living on another planet.
Tesla sales and thus revenue has tanked after he embraced Trump and became a lying conspiracy theorist.
Who would buy tesla cars when he spreads lies about Starmer, embraces neo-nazis in Germany and 'believes' undocumented immigrants can not only get social security benefits but also vote!
Only a moron would think tesla would not be affected!

Musk is so toxic I'm wondering what excuse Trump will conjure up to get rid of him.
