There comes a time in the battle when one should fold the tent. Instead focus on your accomplishments over the last four years, Ackman wrote Saturday. Concede graciously and call for unity from all who have supported you.
Other billionaires congratulated Biden on his win, including Microsoft cofounder and philanthropist Bill Gates. I look forward to working with the new administration and leaders on both sides in Congress on getting the surging pandemic under control, Gates tweeted shortly after Biden was projected as the winner by the Associated Press on Saturday.

The worlds richest person, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, also chimed in on Instagram. Unity, empathy, and decency are not characteristics of a bygone era, the ecommerce executive, who we estimate is worth $190 billion, wrote as the caption to a photo of Biden and Harris high-fiving.

Former venture capitalist-turned-media personality Chris Sacca, who with his wife Crystal Sacca donated $420,000 of their estimated $1.1 billion fortune to Biden, also applauded the elections outcome. Joe and Kamala bring science, innovation and an understanding of the climate opportunity back to the White House, Sacca tweeted Saturday, saying he gave that statement to a news organization owned by conservative media tycoon (and longtime Trump friend) Rupert Murdoch, but the news organization told Sacca they werent going to publish it. I couldnt be more bullish about what Bidens administration means for investors, he added.
