Sergey Brin Sparked a Political War to Influence California
Eliyahu Kamisher reports on the latest in the California's race for governor and Sergey Brin's role. It was late in the evening at a Christmas party hosted by crypto titan Chris Larsen featuring singer Janelle Monáe and a towering abominable snowman with glowing red eyes when Brin and his partner, Gerelyn Gilbert-Soto, confronted Newsom about a new proposal to tax billionaires in California, according to people who've spoken with the governor. Such a levy could hit Brin's stake in Alphabet Inc. and his $272.6 billion fortune. Newsom, who opposes the wealth tax, was still telling people about the lengthy exchange at the party months later, complaining of a lingering cold the pair had given him, according to the people, who asked not to be named discussing private conversations with the governor.
