DOGE chief Elon Musk didn’t hold back when an audience member interrupted him during a rally in Wisconsin.
Last week, the Tesla CEO attended a rally where he gave two Wisconsin voters $1 million each for signing an online petition against 'activist' judges ahead of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on 1 April. The winner of this open seat will decide who controls the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Speaking at the rally, Musk said: "Thank you for coming out in support. It's important for the country and the world. The Supreme Court can redraw the districts, which could result in the House shifting to a Democratic majority.
"If that happens, they will try to block all the reforms we are working on for you, the American people."

Last week, he donated $1 million to a Green Bay resident who was then recognised as 'the first $1 Million spokesperson for signing our petition,' as per Musk.
“Exciting to announce our first million-dollar award for supporting our petition against activist judges in Wisconsin!" the White House Senior Advisor posted on X last Wednesday (26 March).
The world's richest man is also offering $100 to anyone who signs the petition, with another $100 if they got someone else to sign, as part of a broader campaign led by his political action committee, America PAC. The race has become a political battleground and is now the most expensive judicial election in US history.
However, when a heckler in the crowd tried to throw Musk off during his speech, the 53-year-old didn't hold back taking aim at billionaire George Soros.

“It was inevitable at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience,” Musk said before he giggled. “Give my regards to George. Say ‘hi’ to George for me.” Soros is a billionaire investor known for being the focus of right-wing conspiracy theories.
Conservatives have accused him of using his money to sway elections, but others say Musk has been doing exactly this with his hefty checks.
The SpaceX founder has previously blamed Soros and other major Democratic donors, including LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, for funding protests against Tesla.

In a post on X, Musk claimed that an investigation identified five activist groups behind the anti-Tesla protests including Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist and the Democratic Socialists of America. These groups are allegedly funded through the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. Furthermore, the tech mogul has accused Soros of having a 'hatred for humanity' whose influence harmed global societies.
