“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night celebrated Susan Crawford’s victory this week over Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race.
“A lot of folks are happy about this partly because it keeps the court’s 4-3 liberal majority,” Colbert said. “But mostly because it is terrible news for Elon Musk.”
Musk and Musk-aligned groups spent some $20 million to help Schimel, with Musk even handing out million-dollar checks to voters.
“Spending all that money, spending all that cash, just to watch the whole thing burst into flames,” Colbert said. “Now he knows what it’s like to buy a Tesla.”
Crawford won by 10 points in a state known for extremely close elections despite Musk’s attempts to use his cash to swing the election.
“Musk didn’t just lose,” Colbert gloated. “He got crushed.”
