The meeting was arranged at Mamdani’s own request and hosted in the offices of Tishman Spear at the Rockfeller Plaza.
No retreat on tax plan
Mammadani has earlier stated that “billionaires should not be present”, but they peacefully questioned for 90 minutes. A participant said, “He did not back down from any policy situation, although he did so in a non-collapse manner. It shows that he is a good politician. He was very confident. ,When their plan to increase taxes on corporations and millionaires was questioned, Mamdani pointed to history. He reminded the group that such tax growth did not migrate to high -earnings from the first city.Despite the pressure, Mammadani refrained from walking on a debateable comment from her past, such as the Marxist phrase “seizing the means of production”. Instead, they rejected it as a miscreant mistake, a participant said.Another source cited by New York Post expressed disappointment, saying, “He talks a lot and says very little.” The same source said, “(Mamdani) speaks very well in paragraphs. He is well organized. It is easy to fall into the trap of not getting the answer to your question.”
Hard questions, but no wrong
The conversation also touched Mamdani’s previous statements on Israel and Palestine, some business leaders challenged him to refuse to condemn slogans such as “globally Intefada”. According to the attendees, Mamdani said that he discouraged such phrases. Fizer CEO Albert Borla allegedly pressed him on the use of the word “massacre” in the context of Gaza.Mamdani remained creative and managed to reduce potential losses. A business source told The Post, “He had to face some difficult questions. I don’t think he received any support, but did not harm and was prepared.” Another said, “What he did is shown with confidence as he is going to be the mayor.”Despite the importance of the incident, many top officials chose not to participate. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who recently called Mammadani a “Marxist”, left the session citing a scheduling struggle. Other Wall Street leaders allegedly sent junior representatives to their place.
