A group funded by Elon Musk is behind deceptive attack ads and text messages targeting voters in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election. The ads, labeled as coming from a group called Progress 2028, support Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford but are underwritten by Building America's Future, a national conservative group that counts Musk as a donor. The ads focus on hot-button issues such as abortion, immigration, and criminal justice reform, potentially diminishing Crawford's standing with moderate or conservative voters. Musk's America PAC and Building America's Future have spent millions in support of Crawford's Republican opponent, Brad Schimel.
