Summary
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is staring down a recall election over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic — and tech billionaires are preparing to deploy their war chests.Netflix founder Reed Hastings has unofficially kick-started the fight by making a $3 million donation to back Newsom, according to a new disclosure filed on Thursday evening. The same isn’t true for pro-Newsom committees like the one that just took in $3 million from Hastings.And there are Silicon Valley billionaires who will spend their own fortunes against the governor.
