Elon Musk is handing out million-dollar checks in Wisconsin just ahead of a critical state supreme court election. Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler joins The Weekend to discuss the race that could have national consequences.

Musk delivered two checks for $1 million on Sunday in Wisconsin, in advance of the state’s Supreme Court election.

As the world's richest person, Musk's net worth fluctuates with the stock market, particularly tied to Tesla's valuation. His involvement in politics has also sparked discussions about potential financial benefits from his proximity to policymakers.

The Hurun Rich List named Elon Musk as the richest person in the world in 2025. Musk has been claiming the number one spot on this list for four years since 2022, after dethroning Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos. Tesla's CEO has been increasing his net worth by billions each year.

According to Reuters, Musk made the comments Thursday and noted he would finish most of the work on cutting $1 trillion in spending, as soon as 64 days. Musk appeared confident that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could find the savings while speaking to Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier.”

Elon Musk claims his government role is harming his businesses, denies conflict of interest, and is being criticized over DOGE's influence.
