Musk mocks Mamdani's surname while backing rival in NYC mayoral race, sparks outrage
Billionaire Elon Musk sparked outrage after he mocked New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's surname while backing independent candidate Andrew Cuomo. "Bear in mind that a vote for [Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa] is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is," he said. While one user called it a "third-rate, middle-schooler tactic", another called it "racist behaviour".
