His office must report within 40 days on any action it takes, although that deadline doesn’t require a final decision.

The referral is not a criminal charge or a finding that Musk is guilty. But election bribery is a Class I felony in Wisconsin, punishable by up to three and a half years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

Million dollar bribes, max fine 10k. 😭

Get fucking serious with your prison time idea. You're living in lala land thinking that.
