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

Crawford described her opponent Brad Schimel as "quite gracious" in his call to her conceding the race Tuesday night.

Liberals will maintain their narrow majority on the court after Crawford’s victory in the first battleground state election of Trump’s second term.

Elon Musk poured millions of dollars into a Wisconsin Supreme Court race and even donned a local cheese-shaped hat at a political rally, only to have his candidate soundly defeated in a race viewed as an early referendum on Donald Trump's presidency.

Spending all that money, spending all that cash, just to watch the whole thing burst into flames,” Colbert said. “Now he knows what it’s like to buy a Tesla.”

Elon Musk is downplaying the results of a Wisconsin state Supreme Court race that he had previously said could “determine the fate of Western civilization” after his candidate lost. Musk poured a record $21 million into a normally low-profile and non-partisan judicial race to try to get conservative Brad Schimel elected.
