Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : On Wednesday, Musk claimed that actually, "the most important thing" to come out of Tuesday's election in Wisconsin was a ballot initiative enshrining a voter ID law in the state constitution -- even though Wisconsin voters were already required to show identification.
50% : He also questioned the likelihood of Wisconsin voters passing a voter ID law while also electing a liberal judge -- even though voter ID laws enjoy broad bipartisan support, according to the Pew Research Center.
43% : In 2020, he barely avoided a 40-month prison sentence thanks to a commutation -- and then full pardon -- from Trump.
10% : " The concession was notable given that ever since Donald Trump first tried to claim Joe Biden had "stolen" the 2020 election from him, Republican candidates -- including Eric Hovde, who lost to Sen. Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin in November, and Jefferson Griffin, who lost a North Carolina state Supreme Court race -- have pushed election conspiracy theories, according to PBS.
