Is Joe Gebbia still active for the Airbnb Cooperation?

After reading that Joe Gebbia is likely to join DOGE, it got me wondering how our organisation relates to the political reality in the States at this moment. Did they contribute to the election campaigns last year, and to whom? Do we have a DEI policy in place?

Airbnb tells me that this is the place I should receive answers......

You won't get any answers from Airbnb senior management in this forum. The most we can hope for is to raise awareness amongst hosts (and guests) and make enough noise that the moderators report it 'up the chain' that we are not happy.

It's all over social media. People are boycotting Airbnb.

I am trying to organize my local community to boycott airbnb and commit to another platform. We are a smaller community but with big tourism in the summer + fall. So it's easier to organize than say a big city. BUT i think this is the only way to impact Airbnb. If folks don't have the choice to use them as a rental platform THEN they will pay attention. So far Airbnb is reporting revenue increases from Gebbia joining DOGEe. 

I'm disgusted.

Looking at VRBO. Anyone have experience?

do not want to contribute to anything (as much as possible) to Elon, DOGE and Trump.

too bad his resume looked good before joining DOGE

Things just continue to get worse.

My business is down since the election and now that Airbnb is associated with the Coup happening in our country, all I'm seeing is anti- airbnb posts on social media. 

Just great. You just sunk my business.

I used to use both Airbnb and VRBO. Great experiences with both.  Unless Gebbia is kicked off the board soon I'll be canceling my Airbnb account.

I’ve been googling all morning to decide if we need to pull our listing off of Airbnb. The app, Goodsuniteus and the website open secrets.org report donations to be primarily to Democrat candidates and policies. I’m looking for some clarity around this. Maybe a boy caught Will force Airbnb to be more clear.

Joe Gebbia is on the board but not as involved as he once was.  Meanwhile, @Brian is close friends with Obama and hasn't caved to the pressure to join DOGE.  

Meanwhile, I find it hilarious that Gebbia's start-up is called "Samara," because it only calls to mind "Appointment in Samarra."  A man bumps into Death at a Baghdad market and thinks Death makes a threatening gesture.  He flees to Samarra to avoid Death.  But when asked why Death made a threatening gesture to the man in Baghdad, Death says, "I wasn't making a threatening gesture.  I was merely surprised to see him in Baghdad, because I had an appointment with him tomorrow in Samarra."
