Van Landuyt: April 1st Decision
Letter To The Editor

From Lee D. Van Landuyt

Hillsboro

To the Editor:

Elon Musk purchased Donald Trump’s Presidency for “nearly $300 million” (AP/March 5, 2025) allowing Trump to avoid ongoing court cases and ended additional convictions and possible prison time. This is why Trump desperately needed to win the presidency!

The investments Musk made came with certain expectations! Trump, having been freed of his looming trials and punishments became free to relax, play golf and let unelected and unvetted Musk share his Presidency. Trump created DOGE (not approved by Congress) and gave Musk free reign over the government while he sits comfortably at the Resolute Desk. Musk has brandished a chainsaw to show his gutting of Congressionally enacted government programs. The Musk/Trump Presidency is attacking and dismantling the VA/Military, Medicare, Medicaid, Education, Social Security, and other programs.

Musk is currently interfering in Wisconsin’s April 1st election. The AP/3-5-2025 reported that “Musk’s America PAC donated more than $3.2 million and the Building America’s Future has invested some $2 million” to benefit Brad Schimel’s bid for the open Wisconsin Supreme Court seat with misleading/negative/and false media buys. 

Musk’s interference in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race is wrong! Do not allow him to BUY another candidate! Judge Susan Crawford has my support and my vote.
