Billionaire Elon Musk has deleted a social media post in which he had announced plans to hold a rally in Wisconsin to “personally hand over” 2 million dollars (£1.5m) to a pair of voters who have already cast ballots in the state’s hotly contested Supreme Court race.

Mr Musk deleted the post from his social media platform, X, about 12 hours after he initially posted it late on Thursday night.
