Tragically, Mamdani is gaining momentum: Ironically, it is being made possible, made to happen, but the very people who benefited the most from capitalism. You can make this stuff up, Imagine, a billionaire funding a communist who says there shouldn’t be billionaires. Deadly stupidity.
Big Tech workers are top Mamdani campaign donors, far exceeding Andrew Cuomo
Big Tech workers, including from Google and Meta, were among the biggest group of donors to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign — creating a fresh headache for companies in the Big Apple that could feel the brunt of the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist’s policies, The Post has learned.
The 33-year-old upstart has spooked New York business and tech leaders — many of whom fear that his vow to raise taxes on the wealthy and past calls to defund the police will spark a mass exodus similar to what San Francisco experienced under progressive leaders in recent years.
However, their underlings have thrown their financial support behind the front-runner for City Hall.
Rank-and-file Google employees donated nearly $40,500 to Mamdani’s campaign through July 11 — more than any other company or institution, according to NYC campaign finance data reviewed by The Post.
Meta workers chipped in more than $10,500, ranking seventh on the list, followed by Amazon employees, who donated nearly $9,000.
Campaign funds also flowed in from employees at New York City mainstays like tech and media firm Bloomberg ($8,816), Spotify ($7,415), Block ($6,265), Squarespace ($3,957) and MongoDB ($3,900), the data showed.
Billionaire hedge fund heir Elizabeth Simons donates $250K to pro-Zohran Mamdani super PAC
By Carl Campanile, NY Post, Aug. 20, 2025:
Philanthropist Elizabeth Simons, daughter of the late billionaire hedge fund investor Jamie Simons, donated $250,000 to the pro-Zohran Mamdani super PAC New Yorkers for Lower Costs.
The contribution is the largest made to the group promoting the Democratic socialist nominee’s mayoral campaign, which has already raised nearly $2 million from nearly 300 separate donations.
Simons is chairwoman of the board of directors of the Heising-Simons Foundation, which she co-founded with her husband, Mark Heising.
James Simons founded Renaissance Technologies, and he and wife, Marilyn, donated $1 billion to his former employer, Stony Brook University, where he was a math professor.Marilyn is an alumna of the Long Island school, which is part of the State University of New York.
James Simons died last year.
His net worth was estimated at $31.4 billion.
The super PAC operates independently of the Mamdani campaign.
Mamdani caused a stir when he said there shouldn’t be billionaires during an interview after he won the Democratic primary.
“I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country,” he told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in June.
Billionaire Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker fired back at the time, saying, “Look, how much money you have doesn’t determine what your values are.”

Fix the City, a super PAC backing Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for mayor, raised a staggering $26 million.
Last week, it landed a $100,000 donation from Walmart heir and philanthropist Alice Walton, a big backer of charter schools.
The disgraced former governor lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani despite the hefty financial backing, and now is running on an independent ballot line.
There are also super PACs supporting incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is seeking re-election as an independent after skipping the Democratic primary
