Elon Musk is not pleased with Mamdani's grocery stores idea, calls him 'a thief'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has sharply criticised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani over his plan to open city-backed grocery stores that promise to sell some everyday food items at prices below traditional retailers. Responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter) that questioned how the proposed stores would operate, Elon Musk dismissed the plan and accused Mamdani of misleading New Yorkers. “Mamdani is a thief and a liar, plain and simple,” Musk wrote in the post. The billionaire also argued that advances in AI and robotics, rather than government-backed programmes, would eventually make goods and services much cheaper or even free.What Elon Musk said about Zohran Mamdani's grocery store planElon Musk made the comments while responding to an X post by user @jason, who criticised the economics behind Mamdani's proposal.
