With New York's mayoral election approaching, Elon Musk has publicly endorsed independent candidate Andrew Cuomo while controversially mocking Democratic frontrunner Zohran Mamdani by misspelling his name. The Tesla CEO's social media intervention comes alongside former President Donald Trump's support for Cuomo, as both warn against splitting votes between Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, potentially benefiting Mamdani who currently leads in polls despite the race tightening.
