一句话看懂
Wisconsin prosecutor Tim Gruenke declined to charge Elon Musk over $1 million voter offers. No jury would convict, so no election bribery charges filed.
背景
In March 2025, Elon Musk posted on X offering $1 million to voters in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, then quickly revised the post to say the money was for petition signers. The Wisconsin Elections Commission referred the case to a special prosecutor, but La Crosse County DA Tim Gruenke decided not to file charges, citing lack of criminal intent and that no one was actually paid for voting.
来龙去脉
- Mar 30, 2025Musk posted on X offering $1 million to voters, then replaced it with a petition-signing requirement.
- Jul 2026Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 that Musk likely violated election bribery law and referred the case.
- Aug 25, 2026La Crosse County DA Tim Gruenke announced no charges, saying no jury would convict.
各方怎么说
- Prosecutor
- Gruenke said the second post corrected the offer and nobody was paid for voting, so a conviction was unlikely.
- Elections Commission
- The bipartisan commission concluded Musk likely broke state law and referred the case for prosecution.
- Critics
- Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley said he was 'befuddled' by the decision not to charge.
