Airbnb co-founder and Trump official gives $2 million in support of Cuomo

Airbnb co-founder and Trump administration official Joe Gebbia gave a total of $2 million to super PACs in support of independent candidate Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday.

Gebbia, who listed his residence as in Texas, currently serves as the Trump administration’s chief design officer and serves on Airbnb’s board of directors, though he no longer works in an executive role for the company. He also serves on the board of Tesla and worked at the Department of Government Efficiency.

He threw $1 million each to PACs Fix the City and Defend NYC. The filings were made publicly available on Thursday.

Pro-Trump billionaire Bill Ackman also pitched Cuomo PACs more money in recent days, sending $1 million to Defend NYC and another $250,000 to Fix the City.
