A seismic tremor rippled through the New York City mayoral race as tech mogul Elon Musk publicly endorsed a surprising candidate on his social media platform.
The endorsement wasn't for a fresh face or a rising star, but for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, a figure whose political career experienced a dramatic fall from grace. Musk’s message was direct and unequivocal: “VOTE CUOMO!”
He didn’t stop there, aiming a pointed jab at a competing candidate. Musk cautioned voters, stating a vote for Curtis was effectively a vote for someone he referred to dismissively as “Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”
The timing of this declaration is significant, arriving as the 2025 mayoral election draws closer and the political landscape begins to sharpen. It immediately injected a new, unpredictable element into the race.
Musk’s influence is undeniable, and his endorsement is expected to ignite debate and potentially reshape the dynamics of the campaign. The impact of his words will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
This unexpected intervention raises questions about the role of high-profile figures in local elections and the power of social media to sway public opinion. The city now awaits to see how voters will respond.
