Republicans are grappling with the political fallout of Elon Musk’s prominent involvement in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, according to The Wall Street Journal. Musk's $25 million push failed to move the needle and may have hurt the GOP. The liberal candidate won by a margin nearly identical to 2023, despite a record-breaking $100 million overall spending. Republicans now face a strategic dilemma over whether to continue leveraging Musk’s wealth and MAGA appeal or to ask him to take a backseat amid rising concerns over his public image. Musk is expected to leave his White House advisory role by summer.
