"The first time, I couldn't believe what I was watching. It took a moment to digest what I was watching. What really upset me about the video was the fact that it put me in harm's way."
"To put any citizen in harm's way is just inappropriate for one of our political leaders. To turn me into a political puppet was just in poor taste, really poor taste."
"The tax, as a tax that discriminates against a narrow group of people, is also disconcerting. Are they going to now have a special tax rate for people who own property in New York?"
Ken Griffin reacted with disbelief and alarm after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani filmed a video outside his penthouse to promote a new tax. Griffin felt the video put him in harm's way, referencing the assassination of another CEO nearby. He criticized the use of his image for political purposes as inappropriate and in poor taste. Additionally, Griffin opposed the proposed pied-à-terre tax, which targets wealthy non-residents, calling it discriminatory against a specific group of people.
