The billionaire, Elon Musk, got his ass kicked last night in Wisconsin.
Elon Musk spent $28 million supporting a candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It should have been a razor thin victory instead Musk got his ass handed to him by over 10 points. Turn out for this race was out the roof. The night prior to the election Musk handed out $1 Million prizes for those who had signed a petition. He paraded on stage wearing a cheesehead hat and jumping around on the stage like a 2 year old.
Last week a large number of protesters targeted a Tesla dealership. One of the issues discussed was the out of control money being spent by billionaires to win races including school districts. CCISD is one of those that has been targeted by Texas’ own Elon Musks, Timothy Dunn and Farris Wilks. In the last election their PAC, Defend Texas Liberty, solely funded a CCISD candidate Peter Lauzon. He lost. They tried to fund another candidate during the same election. She returned the donation.
These billionaires gave $2000 to Trustee Scott Bowen. He gladly accepted it. Bowen is now up for reelection and will probably be supported by his political party, again, as well as the Elon Musks of Texas. BTW Defend Texas Liberty was disbanded after the leadership was caught meeting with a known white supremacist, Nick Fuentes. (Look him up)
Campaign finance reports for the CCISD elections are due tomorrow. Prior to Scott Bowen running for office, candidates would raise a few thousand dollars, make some signs, and shake some hands. Now PACs like Defend Texas Liberty have attempted to “take over” school districts spending outrageous amounts of money. In Keller ISD candidates received $50,000 each from a PAC. (They won) In Friendswood a candidate received $50,000 from 2 donors. (He lost!)
Hopefully Musk will put on a cow patty hat and campaign for Scott Bowen.
