"Musk backing Cuomo stands out for a few reasons. First, the obvious one he was President Donald Trump's biggest supporter during the 2024 presidential race, and he later joined Trump in the White House for a few months, where he ran the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk also backed other Republican candidates and made it clear he was not a fan of many woke policies pushed by lefty politicians."
"It also stands out, considering Musk and Cuomo were on opposite ends of the spectrum when it came to COVID-19. Musk was highly critical of the restrictions put in place by Democratic leaders like Cuomo; the former New York governor was also criticized for his decision to admit seniors with COVID-19 to nursing homes, and his administration misled the public by sharing incorrect COVID data, the New York State Health Department claimed."
Elon Musk officially supported Andrew Cuomo for New York City mayor and urged voters to oppose Republican Curtis Sliwa, suggesting a Sliwa vote would effectively support Zohran Mamdani. Musk posted emphatically on X, urging New Yorkers to vote for Cuomo. Musk previously was a major supporter of President Donald Trump in 2024 and later served in the White House overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency. He has backed other Republican candidates and criticized progressive "woke" policies. Musk and Cuomo previously clashed over COVID-19 restrictions and Cuomo's nursing home decisions amid disputed state COVID data. Musk has voiced opposition to socialism and contrasted economic outcomes under socialism and capitalism.
