Are there other Airbnb supporters alarmed with co-founder Gebbia working with Musk in DC?

Just learning about this.   VRBO or BOOKING.com as alternatives???Thinking about contacting all my  incoming guests.  I will not stay with Airbnb unless Joe Gebbia  is out of the picture.  I have been a super host for 10 years.

Booking .com has been good for us

I recently cancelled my AirBnB listing. VRBO’s platform is easier to use for the homeowner & the guests. 

Ditto... If Joe doesn't bsck track I'll have to leave

Under no circumstances would i continue to engage the platform if this occurs. No way i can spend my money, knowing that some portion will be heading back to that horrible person, president musk.

Yes. And I won't be using Airbnb again. Cosying up to Musk and Trump must have consequences for Gebbia's business interests.

Just cancelled my $3,000 summer trip to an Airbnb in Vermont over Memorial Day week/weekend. Booked it with a different property (also around $3,000) on VRBO instead.

Sad for the owner of the property.  It would be better to see Gebbia dropped from the board.

I wrote an email to Brian today and raised my concerns. He might reply to me but if more people write to him he might react: brian.chesky@a….

Agreed, we need to demand Gebbia's removal from the board NOW

 

Email sent to Chesky  I will move to VRBO if I don’t get a satisfactory solution to this recent revelation soon.

Very alarmed by it. I raised my concerns in an email to Brian today. He might not reply to my email but if he receives more emails with concerns he might be forced to react: brian.chesky@a……

 

The system does not allow to post the whole address but I’m sure you know it.

who is Brian and can you give me a hint at what the rest of the address is? airbnb.com? I definitely want to write as well!

While Gebbie is a co-founder, I haven't found anything detailing his current involvement. All I'm reading is how he stepped away several years ago. Can anyone cite a source with more info on just what his role is now?
