Musk ’s super PAC has emerged as the top spender in the contest.

Democratic -aligned groups and liberal candidate Susan Crawford have made Musk a major focal point in the race.

The race will determine the state Supreme Court's ideological balance for the second time in two years .

The race is the most expensive state Supreme Court campaign in U.S. history.

Outside groups alone have spent more than $86 million so far on the race.

Musk 's America PAC is the top outside spender in the race at $11.5 million .

The vast majority of ad spending from the pro-Crawford side comes from her campaign, while pro-Schimel ad spending comes from outside groups.
