A brewing company in Wisconsin was attempting to organize a citizen's arrest of billionaire Elon Musk ahead of his trip to the state for a speech to influence a race for the state's supreme court.
In a post on Facebook over the weekend, the Minocqua Brewing Company encouraged Musk's arrest when he visits the state to stump for Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel on Sunday. The company argued that Musk illegally handed out $1 million checks to voters who supported Schimel. However, a Wisconsin appellate court has declined to block Musk's giveaway.

Protesters are surrounding the building in Green Bay, Wisconsin ahead of Elon Musks town hall.

(593 posts)I am a lawyer and I was asked about making a citizen's arrest of Pres. Nixon. The law hasn't changed since then. This would not be a valid arrest, and the people participating in this futile gesture could be prosecuted (and sued) for assault and for false imprisonment.
Maybe we'd all like to see Elon Musk arrested, but the grounds for citizen's arrest don't exist in this situation.
