When Elon Musk showed up at a Wisconsin political rally over the weekend, no one expected him to walk out looking like a diehard Green Bay Packers fan. But there he was-rocking the iconic Cheesehead hat and handing out million-dollar checks like tailgate snacks.
It all went down at a rally for Brad Schimel, the former Wisconsin attorney general now running for a seat on the state Supreme Court. Musk was front and center, throwing his weight (and wallet) behind the campaign. The billionaire drew gasps when he gave out two $1 million checks to attendees-an eyebrow-raising move that's already drawing scrutiny (The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports questions are being raised over legality and optics).
But for Packers fans, it was the Cheesehead moment that sparked the most buzz.
Packers legend Brett Favre weighs in on the CEO's choice of attire
Among those watching? Packers Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Known for his unapologetic conservative views and frequent appearances on the campaign trail, Favre couldn't help but chime in when he saw Musk channeling some Green Bay energy.
"Now all he needs is a leather pigskin in his hand and he's good to go. " Favre posted on X , giving the moment his trademark mix of football nostalgia and southern charm.
It's not the first time Favre's weighed in on politics-far from it. The former QB has been a steady er of Donald Trump and was even a keynote speaker at a rally in Green Bay ahead of the 2024 election. He's also been linked to former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant in a welfare fund controversy, though he was never charged or indicted.
Musk, for his part, has been popping up more often at political events across the country. While he's usually seen courtside at NBA games or in VIP boxes at the Super Bowl, his Cheesehead cameo felt oddly specific-and maybe strategic.
Social media had mixed reactions. Some fans saw it as a fun nod to local culture. Others called it cringeworthy political cosplay.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election takes place Tuesday, April 1. Between Favre, Musk, and million-dollar giveaways, voters have plenty to talk about-on and off the field.
