Elon Musk is spending millions of dollars in an effort to tip the scales in favor of a Republican candidate running for a seat on the highest court in Wisconsin .

Critics regard it as a statement of intent by Musk to expand his political power in America by playing an insidious role in key races across the country.

Musk has grabbed attention during Trump ’s first month in office with his so-called “department of government efficiency”, or Doge .

Most of his efforts went toward electing Trump , a super political action committee he founded also spent millions of dollars on House of Representatives races.

Musk also dabbled in state politics in Texas , where he had moved several of his businesses.

He threatened to fund primary election challengers to members of Congress who failed to back Trump ’s cabinet picks and legislative priorities.
