Chiefest among these converts is billionaire hedge fund mogul Bill Ackman, who famously contributed nearly $2 million of his own money to efforts to kill Mamdani’s candidacy…I read the Pershing Square Capital boss’s tweet on Tuesday night at-ing Mamdani:
“Congrats on the win. Now you have a big responsibility. If I can help NYC, just let me know what I can do.”
Elsewhere in the world of high finance, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who previously called Mamdani “more a Marxist than a socialist” and slammed him as pushing “ideological mush that means nothing in the real world,” is also offering his help.
In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Dimon urged Mamdani to call up the outgoing mayor of Detroit for advice because “that’s the way you learn,” which is more than a little bit condescending. The billionaire also said he left a message for Mamdani the day after the election and selflessly offered to meet with him: “If I find it productive, I’ll continue to do it.”
Elsewhere, the crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz urged his countrymen to reach out to Mamdani.
“Once he’s the mayor, we’ve got to be sure he’s successful in keeping New York a thriving community,” he told Bloomberg News on Wednesday…”That we’ve got a tale of two cities in the Dickensian sense, to a degree we haven’t seen since we’ve been alive, and can you address the affordability issue in creative ways without driving business out.” The crypto industry might mourn the booster it had in the outgoing mayor, but something tells me “business” at large is going to be alright.
This isn’t to say everyone at the top has gracefully accepted the results.
It remains to be seen how Mamdani will govern and how big business will respond.

Of course they are. They are NOT on our side. I hope Mamdani taxes the living hell out of them. They deserve it.
So silly. $2 million is a drop A drip.
They have to do this unfortunately
too expensive to relocate
“Bending the knee?!?!” They put him there.
They are hoping to be eaten last or figure out how not to be taxed by his agenda, so the costs will be on the little people.
$2M can buy a lot of salami sandwiches
Big time.
Exactly.
Too expensive to stay.
I expect nothing different from these people. Whores, all of them.
Just transfer all of your money to the mayor's office - and thank you for your support.
What a chump.
Billionaires should bow their heads to their TOTALITARIAN overlord.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they are trying to gain favor with him so he will look the other way and create some exceptions to benefit them or their business. The whole city is corrupt.
The Dem/left absolutely are the party of the extremely wealthy. Both businesses and individuals.
They love to pass laws and regulations that only they can afford to benefit from. It eliminates competition and shores up relationships with leftists to continue helping them out. It’s no surprise that big businesses and government align.
I thought Ackman and his wife were the ones President Trump praised at a recent event....don’t recall what it was. It’s impossible to keep track of these things without a scorecard.
“I thought Ackman and his wife were the ones President Trump praised at a recent event....don’t recall what it was. It’s impossible to keep track of these things without a scorecard.”
These idiots fold like a cheap suit.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Jamie, kind of difficult to move a 1400 foot skyscraper……. Pucker up!
