A Wisconsin district attorney has decided not to pursue criminal charges against Tesla CEO Elon Musk over allegations of bribery in the state’s 2025 Supreme Court elections.

Democratic La Crosse County District Attorney Tim Gruenke said he did not think he could secure a jury verdict on bribery charges involving Musk, the world’s first trillionaire, for giving away $1 million to two voters during the 2025 race. At a March 2025 event in Green Bay, Musk handed out two $1 million checks to Wisconsinites who signed his America PAC petition against “activist judges,” a move that stirred up controversy and a lawsuit from the left.
