Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently referred to Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist candidate for New York mayor, as "the future of the Democratic Party," following Governor Kathy Hochul's endorsement of Mamdani. The tweet sparked debate about the direction of the Democratic Party and Mamdani’s progressive agenda, which includes rent control measures. Some critics labeled Mamdani’s platform as far-left or even communist. The discussion intensified with a rally clip featuring Hochul, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, where supporters chanted for taxing the rich. As Election Day approaches, Musk's comment has fueled speculation about the Democratic Party's future post-2024.
