Republicans like President Trump, Stephen Miller and Elon Musk endorsed him ahead of New York City’s mayoral election. Stephen Colbert referred to them as “everyone New Yorkers love.”

Elon Musk’s 6.6M-view post slams NYC mayoral ballot: no ID, Mamdani & Sliwa appear twice via fusion voting, Cuomo shoved bottom-right.

However, while Musk is taking advantage of a paid feature, it's unclear if he is actually paying to boost his post on X. After all, he owns the platform. Even so, Musk appears to be using the paid boost feature to promote his Cuomo endorsement and attack on Mamdani.

President Donald Trump encouraged voters to back former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in tomorrow’s New York City mayoral election, making the endorsement hours after Tesla chief Elon Musk did the same in a last-minute push against Democratic New York State assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.

New Yorkers elected young leftist Zohran Mamdani as their next mayor Tuesday and Democrats won two key state governor races as US voters delivered an early warning to President Donald Trump ahead of 2026's midterms.
