Susan Crawford, a liberal, won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, easily defeating her Musk-backed conservative challenger, Brad Schimel, in a race Musk said “might decide the future of America and Western civilization.”

Crawford won by 10 percentage points in a state known for extremely close elections, despite Musk’s attempts to use his cash to swing the election. “Musk didn’t just lose,” Colbert gloated. “He got crushed.”

Elon Musk's past 24 hours have shown troubling signs for his political and personal fortunes.

Crawford won by approximately 10% of the vote share, even as groups supporting Brad Schimel—including Musk’s America PAC—spent vastly more money.

Judge Susan Crawford defeated conservative-backed candidate Brad Schimel for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court despite Musk pouring millions into the race.

Wisconsin voters rejected an all-out blitz by the billionaire to get a conservative on the state’s supreme court.
