The richest man in the world saw his comments backfire on Saturday after he criticized a decision made by New York City's Democratic mayor elect.

Elon Musk over the weekend pounced on a report about New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's decision to appoint a FDNY commissioner who has never been a firefighter.

Musk shared the article, writing, "People will die because of this. Proven experience matters when lives are at stake."

Fellow Sanders aide Warren Gunnels also weighed in on social media, writing Saturday, "Dude, the cuts you made to humanitarian assistance resulted in the deaths of 600,000 people, two thirds of them children - saving U.S taxpayers just 17 cents a day, $64 a year. All while you became $450 billion richer since Trump was elected."

I cannot wait for the November elections to come...............and they cannot get here fast enough...........

His narcissism is right up there with that orange hair traitor............
