🧵 Elon Musk dramatically changed his stance after a major defeat in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race.

While he initially called it a battle that could “determine the fate of Western civilization,” he's downplaying its significance after losing.

Here’s why it matters. 1/5 Image
Musk poured a record $21 million into a normally low-profile and nonpartisan race to try to get conservative Brad Schimel elected, yet liberal Judge Susan Crawford prevailed.

After losing, Musk pivoted—highlighting a ballot measure that enshrined voter ID laws in the state constitution, calling it “the most important thing.” 2/5
Trump echoed Musk, also trying to spin the race as all coming down to the voter ID law—though Wisconsin already requires voter IDs. 3/5
