A majority of voters elected Trump, while Ackman failed to influence the mayoral election with his money.

And Trump did it with dramatically less campaign money than Hillary or Harris.

Gee golly, really!? Thanks for letting me know, I had no idea!
I could've also mentioned Ackman personally calling Trump in 2020 to beg him to shut down the economy for a month and my argument would be just the same: I don't want billionaires using their money to shape the world to their liking.
To take a recent example, the median income in New York City is about $79k/year (before taxes), while Bill Ackman alone essentially threw away 21.5x that in his failed attempt to influence the mayoral election.
