Elon Musk's Attempt To Shame Heckler At His Wisconsin Rally Backfired Big Time

During his Wisconsin rally on Sunday, Elon Musk tried to shut down a protester by invoking George Soros, but people thought it was a bit on the nose for the billionaire.

Billionaire Elon Musk was called out after he tried to shut down a protester during his Wisconsin rally on Sunday by invoking George Soros, only for people to point out that his criticisms were a bit hypocritical considering his own record of funding MAGA causes.

Soros—a billionaire philanthropist who has been the subject of countless conservative and antisemitic conspiracy theories for his support of progressive and liberal political causes—was Musk's first thought amid Tuesday's Supreme Court election in Wisconsin despite the fact he is currently paying people to help sway the race.


When a heckler interrupted him, Musk giggled and said:

“It was inevitable at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience. Give my regards to George. Say ‘hi’ to George for me.”

You can watch what happened in the video below.

On Tuesday, liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford defeated conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel by ten points, maintaining a liberal majority on the court.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

Beyond direct donations, Musk’s super PAC, America PAC, spent $11.5 million on digital ads, mailers, field operations, and voter outreach. Meanwhile, his political nonprofit, Building America’s Future, spent nearly $4.8 million on TV ads attacking Crawford.

So which billionaire was actually interfering in elections here? Hint: It's not Soros.


Musk was called out for his hypocrisy.


Just weeks ago, Musk’s support for Judge Schimel was inconsistent, but his stance on the race has since escalated dramatically.

Referring to the key role that the court could play in congressional redistricting, Musk said "whichever party controls the House to a significant degree controls the country, which then steers the course of Western civilization." He claimed the race "is one of those things that may not seem that it’s going to affect the entire destiny of humanity, but I think it will.”

Musk also gave out $1 million checks on Sunday to two Wisconsin voters, declaring them spokespeople for his political group. In a unanimous decision on Sunday, the state Supreme Court declined to hear a last-minute effort by the Democratic attorney general to block Musk from distributing the checks. The ruling came just minutes before the rally was set to begin.

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.
