Elon Musk became the latest prominent figure to endorse former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo‘s New York City mayoral campaign on Monday in a bid to keep socialist rival Zohran Mamdani from winning the election. 

Mamdani is leading in the polls ahead of the Tuesday election, with Cuomo seen as his top challenger, followed by Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. A host of moderates and Republicans have issued endorsements to Cuomo, a Democrat running as an independent, in hopes of keeping Mamdani out of City Hall, since Sliwa is seen as having little chance of winning.
