Elon Musk Endorses Andrew Cuomo With Problematic Zohran Mamdani Name Drop

Although the tech mogul doesn’t live in New York City and is unable to vote in the mayoral election, he endorsed Cuomo for the office in a truly problematic way on X.

“Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is,” Musk wrote, referencing Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. ”VOTE CUOMO!”

It doesn’t appear as if Musk’s post will change any minds, based on the reaction to his post.

Another person criticized the anti-Mamdani post for attacking the candidate and not his ideas.

One person had a sneaking suspicion that Musk probably did know Mamdani’s name.

But one Mamdani supporter who was probably aware that many voters probably find Musk annoying thanked Tesla’s big cheese for “the last minute help to Mamdani’s campaign.”
