Acclaimed actor Mark Ruffalo has criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom for putting the interests of billionaires ahead of the working class once more, according to recent remarks posted on social media. Ruffalo lambasted Newsom for his endorsement of Proposition 42, a ballot measure that would potentially invalidate the state's billionaire tax initiative and potentially prohibit future wealth taxes.
"Once again," Ruffalo wrote on X, "just like the Paramount merger, Gavin Newsom does what he always does: Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again." The actor's comments come in response to Newsom's endorsement of Prop 42 last week, a proposition that opposes the 5% billionaire tax plan proposed in Proposition 40.
Newsom defended his decision, stating that Californians deserve to protect their retirement and life savings from new state taxes. Earlier this month, Ruffalo also condemned Newsom's stance on the Skydance’s Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, stating that it was a "huge win" for Trump and his billionaire associates.
