Musk moves quickly into successes and failures. Yes, we could pause to cry a tear over Brad Schimel — upon whom once rested "the entire destiny of humanity" — but look here: Musk has got the biggest product ever made.ELON MUSK: "Tesla is the only company with all the ingredients for making intelligent humanoid robots at scale.

There’s no success like failure....

AND: Embracing the notion that there's no success like failure, Musk now tweets: "I expected to lose, but there is value to losing a piece for a positional gain."

"Next play!" - Coach
College cities filled with lefty lunatics and out-of-state money seized the day in Wisconsin.
Maybe the robots can all ride Segways, the last buggest product of all time by far…
I love on X, how the cheeseheads are claimging they beat back the election being bought, while compltely ignoring it was bought by Soros, Pitzger, et al. The conservative candidate was outspent by a mile.
To some inventors and creators, failure is progress - a positive learning experience. They learned what doesn't work, which takes them one step closer to what will work. (See e.g. Thomas Edison.)
Oh ann. Only old ladies like you and your knuckle-dragging whiteboy husband by that shit...
When will we see a Tesla parked in the driveway? A Cybertruck perhaps. Put your money where your mouth is, or... hush dear. Didn't your veteran parents teach you anything??
Failure is a most important part of learning.
Wisconsin isn't Musk's failure.
The result for the SC makes sense to me, but I'm surprised by the photo ID result: Only 2 counties voted 'No'. Milwaukee county by just over 50%, but Dane county (Madison) by almost 65%. Why? Milwaukee is easily dismissed, as a ward of the DNC, preferring a corruptible system. What happened, Madison? Statewide, the answer was 'Yes' by over 60%.

He contributed bigly.
People came out to vote against Elon who otherwise wouldn't have voted in a SCOTUS race. Plenty of them are Trump voters too. Trump should cut the dead weight. Musk's money blinds him to the fact that nobody likes a weirdo acting like a child, dropping his seed everywhere and not taking responsibility for his children. Grow up, man but do your thing and do it quietly in the background. You're not likeable. Just like JD. These are not the popular people but sat at the loser table in HS. Good he's got the money to fall back on and to impress the ladies like annie, who go in for that sort of thing... commoner husband aside. We all go slumming sometime!
Bottom line - people are not too fond of multi-multi-multi billionaires. Best to use their money and keep them behind the curtain.
The simple hearts in Dane still are thinking "those poor black people... can't cross the street in peace; don't have drivers licenses or know how to get a public id in the ghetto. Pity and protect the poor blacks..." It's their mindset. You see it here today in 2025; they are still living in their father's time and place, where blacks were discriminated against, not elevated artificially... There's no opening eyes determined to stay locked shut. Jesse Jackson Jr. in 2028!, eh annie?? ;-)
Can Optimus be programmed to vote Republican?
I thought the approach Musk and Trump took towards the Wisconsin Supreme Court election was ham-handed and likely to fail, and it did. There is a possibility that the idea was to keep the Democrats focused on Crawford vs Schimel while the real key to turning the state red — voter ID — passed quietly in the background, but frankly that looks like a stretch from here (which is in Virginia, over 1000 miles away)
Photo ID enshrined, for now. What's the over-under on Crawford nixing it after she and the other WI Supremes dispense with Act 10?
Anyway, this episode about Elon Musk illustrates why he is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in history whole the rest of us have to budget for groceries and set dollar limits on grandchildrens’ Christmas presents. If he suffers a failure he learns what lessons there are to learn from it, then he memory-holes the failure (carefully retaining the lessons learned) and gets on to the next thing. Very admirable.
Tesla’s Global Vehicle Deliveries Sank 13% in First Quarter ~ WSJ
Keep in mind, those deliveries were to people who had had committed to buying months prior. Tesla sales are about to fall off a cliff. I'd not be surprised if Q2 was as low a 150k deliveries.
Won't be long until SpaceX makes an offer to buy Tesla.
Lady KaKa
Musk millions $26,000,000 plus couldn't buy this one. This guy knows as much about Wisconsin as trump knows about Constitution. The zillionaires on this side have to rub each others foreheads on this failed play, Mere chump change for the oligarchs.
Why do you Wisconsinites support your horrid female leftists so much?
But what was this "positional gain"? I'm not seeing it.
I watched that manned SpaceX launch from my front yard Monday evening. Those of us living on Florida's Space Coast understand the incredible things Musk is achieving.
Now Wisconsin has the least diverse Supreme Court in the country! Democrats smile.
Photo voter ID is a big win. Without it, or some other solution to guarantee one person/one vote that is lawfully allowed to vote, then democracy is no longer valid.
All right now. Who would mope about Wisconsin?!
Musk openly campaigned for what he believed in while all the other billionaires used their millions in the shadows.
Notice how Ann frames this as a failure for Musk and gets mad that Musk wont pout like she wants him to.
All of the people who want Musk to lose are ankle biters and failures in everything they do. Nobody will talk about what Musk was fighting against and what he was fighting for.
In the end Musk will win because he is open about what he is fighting for and the leftists he is fighting for cannot be honest about what they want.
Democrats are openly campaigning for voter fraud, illegal immigration, and corruption.
They are doomed.

---------------------------
It was my understanding that the photo ID requirement was to be added to the State Constitution. How can it then be ruled un Constitutional? Or am I wrong on this?
The pygmies believe they are “getting” Musk. The leftmediaswine have smeared him unmercifully. If they could get him down to his last $50 billion maybe they could watch him sweat - a little. LOL! In a rational world any contribution by George Soros, not Elon Musk, would be the kiss of death. I’m not sure why, but I doubt many are surprised by this result.
The sad part is that it seemed musk HAD to step in because the RNC was not getting it done ( a little like Europe counting on musk to bail them out ). Who is the RNC leader now? They were very visible during the potus election but now they disappear. Scott pressler is busting ass but I don’t see the help except musk.
It's true that there's improved competition and also that Elon Musk has personally become toxic for the brand.
But there are also serious product problems. Nearly every Cybertruck recalled because panels were glued on with the wrong adhesive. A terrible safety record. Constant delays to promised upgrades.
It's hard to see how the brand can get out of its downward spiral, unless perhaps DOGE recommends that it becomes the officially mandated vehicle supplier to all branches US government.
@Kakistocracy: You voted for the lefty judge, right? Just askin’.
Where did I read that Crawford spent fifty million to win? But now that you have voter ID her win is pyrrhic at best. So, Democrats, enjoy your little victory. The people of Wisconsin won a bigger victory.
Daily Mail reporting Musk resigned from Doge.
Tesla can go from being an EV company to a battery company for renewables and be just fine & dandy, although the left may have a problem virtue signalling with a large lithium battery buried in the foundation or wall.
"But now that you have voter ID her win is pyrrhic at best. So, Democrats, enjoy your little victory. The people of Wisconsin won a bigger victory."
The Wisconsin court Crawford was just voted onto will declare last night's constitutional amendment unconstitutional in short order.
"It was my understanding that the photo ID requirement was to be added to the State Constitution. How can it then be ruled un Constitutional? Or am I wrong on this?"
Logically speaking, it can't be declared unconstitutional but that won't matter at all.
Wisconsin elections have had photo ID since 2011. Enshrining it in our constitution now. I’m fine with that and so are most Crawford voters.

I’m old enough to remember when the left used to rail against millionaires. I guess now that their Democrat congress critters are mostly all millionaires now, that’s passé.
“Best to use their money and keep them behind the curtain.”
The Soros strategy.

I think the California Supreme Court did likewise to a constitutional amendment approved by the voters of the state some years back.
Why they weren't all dragged from their offices by a mob, horsewhipped, and hanged from the nearest oak tree is a mystery for the ages.
Trump should lose Musk for a positional gain.
Musk is arguably the Edison, Ford and Westinghouse of the 21st century and the mental midgets who create nothing, produce nothing are calling for his head. There is an appropriate Robert A Heinlein quote but being old it escapes me at the moment. A voting reform measure that hasn't been discussed is requiring to be residing in your precinct for six months and a day in order to vote in that precinct.
"Maybe the robots can all ride Segways, the last buggest product of all time by far…"
We're in Christchurch, NZ and everyone is riding those things. Or, at least, little electric scooters that you stand on.

I'm holding out for Optimus Prime (which will come with free shipping from Amazon).

"Most' Crawford voters voted against it based upon the county-by-county returns.
cubanbob: "Musk is arguably the Edison, Ford and Westinghouse of the 21st century and the mental midgets who create nothing, produce nothing are calling for his head. There is an appropriate Robert A Heinlein quote but being old it escapes me at the moment."
Robert Heimlein: "Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck"."
I'm sure WI Dems fall in the usual two categories: Life long Democrats back to Kenedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton and Wide-Eyed Progressives. In total pretty much assured her win. However, I believe a case can be made that the effort to boost Republican turnout produced enough between the Republicans and the life long Democrats to win the commonsense requirement to have voter ID as a constitutional amendment.
“About 63% of Wisconsin voters approved a Republican-led referendum to elevate the state's voter ID law to the constitution. At the same time, 55% voted to elect a liberal justice to the Supreme Court, according to unofficial results.”
