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.

Why? Because no matter how bad Mamdani’s policies are the billionaires lives will not be adversely affected one bit. They have more than enough to offset for themselves anything negative money wise that will affect everyone else.
I don’t see anything alarming in their statements and nothing to show they’ll be supportive of his plans. It’s just the typical “congrats” that companies send after an election, but of course the media will blow it up into a story.
Mamdani is a smooth operator. And has gift of gab.
Much smarter than AOC.
It’s a balance to all the sensationalized stories about businesses leaving NYC and heading for the exit.
NEW BUILDINGS CAN BE BUILT
No they do not.
He is like most of them. A whore. No principles as a person I guess. Sickening.
Money is his god, likely. Thought he was better than that.
Money and Muzzies are the roots of all evil.
In the end: winners can identify other winners.

Most cities are corrupt. Large democrat cities are especially corrupt.
No, it's not. Watch and learn.
Ackman reminds me of something that Lenin allegedly said, “The capitalist will sell you the rope that you use to hang him.”
I wonder if they will sit behind Mamdani during his inauguration. Seems to be a trend.
I don’t like Moron Zandami but I see the oligarchy taking him under their wing to “guide” Moron through the maze of swamp land.
Keep in mind that these billionaire hedge fund managers like Ackman produce NOTHING. They’re parasites living off of other people’s wealth. Tax them into oblivion.
