DoorDash CEO Tony Xu disputes these claims, asserting the deal will make grocery delivery faster and more affordable. The acquisition involves DoorDash purchasing Maplebear Inc., the parent company of Instacart, for $65 per share, representing a 26% premium over its October 22 closing price. Mamdani's opposition also references a $131.5 million NYC wage enforcement action against DoorDash.Why
