Wisconsin’s attorney general has asked a court to block billionaire Elon Musk from handing out $1m cheques to voters this weekend, just two days before the state’s hotly contested Supreme Court race is to be decided.

Democrat Josh Kaul filed the lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court to stop Mr Musk from making the payments, which he said he would make on Sunday in Wisconsin.
