The Wisconsin Supreme Court race Tuesday will put Elon Musk’s political and financial influence to the test after he poured millions of dollars in the race to support a conservative candidate.

Musk has spent $12 million through his America PAC to support Brad Schimel over liberal candidate Susan Crawford in a race that will determine the partisan tilt on the state Supreme Court. Building America’s Future, a group that has previously received funding from Musk, has added $4.7 million to the race. On top of that, he will speak in Wisconsin on Sunday night, days before voters are set to head to the polls.

The election has been seen as the first critical bellwether of President Trump’s second term, as Democratic energy appears to be growing on the grassroots level. But much of the attention has centered on Musk, whose role in the administration has received outsized attention and whose presence in the race has given fodder to Democrats supporting Crawford.

“We're seeing a test of how much impact can one man have on a race in terms of bringing these kinds of resources to bear, which are gargantuan and which will kind of set a new benchmark that we've never really seen in terms of, you know, a person like him with groups like his spending in ways that they are,” said one Wisconsin GOP operative familiar with the strategy.

“It’s also true in the other direction with the Democrats, given how much they stake on having their messaging be about him,” he added.

Democratic donors have also opened their pockets in the race, including most notably George Soros and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, underscoring the degree to which both sides see the election as critical.

It’s also not the only race on Tuesday Musk has gotten involved in.

In Florida, he is supporting GOP........
