The highly contested mayoral race in New York City has drawn criticism from billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk. Here's why.

"I like Elon, I've always liked him," Trump told reporters on board Air Force One. The two were photographed talking at Charlie Kirk's memorial.

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.

For Musk to collect the whole package, which is broken into 12 parts, Tesla would have to achieve milestones like selling 10 million subscriptions to self-driving software and increasing earnings before depreciation and other items to $400 billion, from $17 billon last year.

Elon Musk criticises NYC mayoral ballot, questions integrity, and backs Andrew Cuomo over Zohran Mamdani. Trump urges support for Cuomo in upcoming elections.

The clashes between Elon Musk and Sam Altman could boost their cred, yet there are also risks for leaders who spar where others can see.

Elon Musk appears to be in line for a $2 billion of government work for President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome defense project. His SpaceX firm is set to win the massive project to develop and build the missile- and aircraft-tracking satellites, according to people briefed on the plan.
