Mayor Mamdani Reaches Out to Citadel CEO Ken Griffin Amid Tensions Over Tax Video
Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City has attempted to reach out to Ken Griffin, CEO of Citadel, following a controversial video posted by Mamdani. The video, released on Tax Day, criticized Griffin's $238 million penthouse as part of a push for a pied-a-terre tax, which angered Griffin. Sources indicate that Griffin is awaiting a public apology from Mamdani before engaging in any discussions. The video has led Griffin to consider expanding his company in Miami instead of Manhattan. Steven Fulop, President of the Partnership For New York, noted that Griffin has not yet had a conversation with Mamdani and suggested that the mayor should acknowledge his mistake. Mamdani has softened his tone towards the business community, emphasizing the need for economic justice and affordability in the city.
