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".
