The Democrats’ victory in the Wisconsin supreme court race marks a big loss for Elon Musk.

The billionaire supporter of US president Donald Trump and his affiliated groups spent more than $21m (£16.2m) supporting the conservative candidate with the aim of breaking the liberals’ 4-3 majority on the court.
