This past spring, President Elmo openly tried to buy<\/a> the Wisconsin Supreme Court, spending over $25 million on MAGA candidate Brian Schimmel. Elmo’s involvement ended up being both a blessing and a curse to Schimel. The obscene amount of money kept Schimel in the race but also ensured there was no way for Schimel to win.<\/p>\n But per a new report, the race cost Elmo more than $25 million, untold fortunes in lost Tesla sales, and any good will from the public he might have enjoyed once upon a time. It also helped fuel the trouble<\/a> between Elmo and Donold:<\/p>\n \nPolitics experts have since concluded the involvement turned out to be a net negative for Schimel and a new report by the Wall Street Journal cites the episode as a factor in tension building between Musk and Trump.<\/p>\n Trump aides in the White House were “dismayed” at Musk’s involvement because they believed Schimel would not win and that the race was transforming into a referendum on Trump and Musk, according to the report.<\/p>\n Trump became annoyed with Musk after appearing in a telephoned event with Schimel, “telling advisers that he was done with him because Schimel couldn\u2019t answer questions cogently about abortion,” according to the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This report does leave one big question unanswered – if Donold was so down on Schimel, why did he bother to endorse him<\/a> just weeks before the election? It just makes The Orange Felon look even more like the loser he really is.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
