AirBnB with Project 2025

[Annie1976]

I was shocked and disturbed to understand recently that Airbnb is in support of Project 2025.  We have been Airbnb hosts and guests for almost 10 years.  We have believed in this company and what it provides our community. We are seriously considering dropping our hosting and moving to another similar company and finding other ways to rent while traveling. PLEASE RECONSIDER who you side with in this dangerous political time.  Trump is an absolute lunatic and we will have long term consequences from his actions.  Internationally do you really want to side with this type of individual?  What do we look like on the international scene?

I look forward to your response.

I have been searching for information on whether Airbnb is supporting Project 2025, and DOGE (besides Gebbia, a co-founder and board member who is no longer active in Airbnb management).

I had read that Airbnb was supporting Project 2025 but I can't find the original source, or any further information on this.

https://www.goodsuniteus.com/
This site shows a very solid blue donation history.

Shows a solid blue contribution history until this year where it is 95% red, perhaps this year is out of whack this early because of the inauguration contribution?

Airbnb is not listed here.

Does anyone have links to information that shows Airbnb supporting Project 2025? I wish Airbnb would respond/clarify.

According to this 20 Feb 2025 Newsweek article, AIRBNB's "billionaire co-founder Joe Gebbie has joined Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)."

I am just learning about this and want to be informed. I would appreciate any sources for information that are reliable. I run a well-loved mom and pop, actually just the mom, Airbnb out of my home with a private entrance and a bath in Austin, and have been a host and super host for 14 years. I do depend on this labor of love for income. Reservations have dropped significantly in the last month and I'm very concerned to learn that this is due to affiliations with the current administration. Scary times folks. Really appreciate having found this thread and others this evening. Thanks for any continued info and input.

I'm much more likely now to book with a similar company (or a hotel) since I found out about AIRBNB supporting Project 2025.  I would support this decision entirely.  I don't agree when people say that it just hurts the owners of the apartments/houses - they can always choose a different company to host with.

Thank you Annie. 

I feel the same way—been on AirBnB for years and never thought I'd have to drop it.
