Washington Examiner: Bill Ackman goes scorched earth on MIT and Business Insider after ‘attacks on my family’
Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman is going on the offensive against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Business Insider after the news source reported allegations his wife plagiarized portions of her dissertation at the university. Ackman specifically targeted the research university’s chairman with calls for his resignation. […]
Ackman targeted Business Insider for publishing the allegations, accusing the outlet of not giving the couple adequate time to “research their claims prior to publication.” The billionaire went even further to suggest he would execute a review of all journalists from the media company to search for plagiarism, accusing the author of the story of “trying to destroy other people’s reputations.”
“Not only did Ms. Long not contact me. I have never spoken to her in my life,” Ackman wrote. “Clearly, she had already written her article prior to contacting Fran, our head of communications at 5:19pm when she told him they would be publishing shortly this evening, which they did around 7:10pm. … This is the worst form of so-called journalism.”
Ackman further criticized the story, calling it “unfortunate that my actions to address problems in higher education have led to these attacks on my family.” Instead, the billionaire called attention to “apparent tax fraud” by Gorenberg, which he said “mainstream media failed to report” late last year.
“I guess MIT Chairman Gorenberg did not like it when I outed him for apparent tax fraud using MIT’s donor advised fund. By doing so, he put at risk MIT’s tax exempt status,” Ackman wrote in a post on X. “The mainstream media failed to report on the thread below. They might want to take a closer look now. Following up on the below thread should be a profitable exercise for an IRS whistleblower. I understand that the IRS pays attractive bounties to helpful sources.”
Ha! What’s the opposite of Tax Exemption? Tax cheating!!! … and funneling of donor funds into your wife’s deep pockets. Nice response Mr. Ackman
Heh. Unleash the AI!!!!!!
Ackman’s going all scorched earth. Why stop at Harvard and MIT? Do them all.
This is the wrong alley to go down MIT.
“Welcome to the party, pal!”
I’m just loving this Ackman guy.
In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday evening, Ackman resurfaced allegations against Mark Gorenberg, claiming the MIT chairman used the university’s donor-advised fund to allocate his contributions to a DEI non-profit organization operated by Gorenberg’s wife. In doing so, Ackman claimed Gorenberg put MIT’s tax-exempt status “at risk.”
Hit them where it hurts.
Pass the popcorn.
First Elon, and now Ackman: billionaires for freedom, truth in media and against wokeism. Will any other billionaires join the crusade?
Boy are you out to lunch. Elon is for free speech and Ackman for preventing any criticism of Jews.
That’s all antisemitism is? Criticism of Jews?
Boy are you out to lunch.
Ackman is learning, but he’s not there yet
Let’s not forget that the new Twitter, X, is finally allowing unlimited free speech, including rebuttal via Community Notes, thanks only to Elon Musk. ( Bill Ackman in fact thanked Elon by name in his post.)
Thomas Jefferson ( and the rest of the Founding Fathers ) would recognize Elon as a patriot and a true son of Liberty.
( Elon and Samuel Adams, in particular, would have got on like a house afire.)
Now….if Elon could only brew beer?
Elon Summer Lager anyone?
I am wondering why my reasonable, non profane comment was thrown into moderation?
If I had a billion bucks, I’d spend 999 million on attacking every commie university and their profs, every public sector union and every main piss-stream media outlet.
Go Bill Go.
The reality is that Claudine earned her degree on her back, because Claudine is a Jezebel fit only for menial labour and whelping the next generation of Black thugs.
Accusing Neri Oxman of similar academic dishonesty was a polite way of calling Bill Ackman’s wife a whore. Mr. Ackman is understandably acting accordingly.
When President Trump returns, may I suggest he legalize duelling.
Follow the money.

Ack man is by no means noble. He pimped covid hard on NBC and other outlets to push down the market so he could collect on some way outside the money positions. Because he lost a shllload prior and his company was in dire straits.
Turned 20 million into 2 billion. But for that to happen, Covid had to be fear mongered to kill the market.
And Ackman did just that.
First class prick.
And it worked.
