Elon Musk gave out $1m cheques to two Wisconsin voters on Sunday, declaring them spokespeople for his political group.

The move came ahead of a Wisconsin Supreme Court election that the tech billionaire cast as critical to president Donald Trump’s agenda and “the future of civilisation” and follows a late legal challenge to stop him.
