"O'Leary himself shared the Fox Business clip along with a summary of what he said, expecting "free everything." He added, "If you campaign on 'money for nothing and chicks for free,' you'd think the busses(sp) would at least be comped. Great song. Terrible policy." The businessman was referencing the song 'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits, which he also brought up in the Varney & Co. interview. Varney commended O'Leary on his sarcasm, to which the Shark Tank star responded, "I'm not kidding. I want free.""
"The businessman continued, "He promised me free everything. Hasn't delivered yet. I'm monitoring the situation. This is just wrong, you can't tell me I'm getting everything for free and don't deliver.""
Kevin O'Leary appeared on Fox Business' Varney & Co. and joked that mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is effectively running New York City. O'Leary claimed he expected a "massive inflow" rather than departures and complained he did not receive promised free services after the election, citing a lack of free rides, dinners and hotel comping. He said the new mayor had promised "free everything," blamed lack of delivery, and said he was "monitoring the situation." O'Leary shared the clip on social media, referenced the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing," and elicited backlash online for his remarks.
