I am an Air bnb Superhost, and also a deep supporter of Democracy, ethics and kindness. Also frugal, and a hard worker, as most of us hosts are and I'm sure your employees at Air bnb are as well. I've enjoyed being a part of this company as a host and shareholder and have been proud that we have DEI polices (still in place, I hope!), have stepped up to help during crises be it wildfires, or other disasters.
Joe Gebbia aiding and abetting Elon Musk's strange, crazy takeover of federal records with Elons' status, duties and purview changing daily does not make anyone feel safe or comfortable. I understand why many plan to boycott, protest and do anything and everything they can to stop the insanity (now we're in cahoots with Russia as well?!?!)
Elon looked so sweet and innocent sitting next to President Trump on Hannity last night, then posts cruel and malicious items on his X account to dig at those whose lives he is uprooting.
And I'm all for all for looking at and stopping Government waste, of which there is most likely a lot, but it needs to be done thoughtfully, with consideration for ramifacations and not by a team of young heathens.
I think all of us at Airbnb would love to hear from you and Joe about what his role is and if he is staying on at Airbnb or not. I will most likely now post my listing on VRBO as a safety measure until I hear back. Safety for myself as well, as I hear that many will no longer use Air bnb.
What a shame - during these trying times we ALL need to communicate clearly and pro-actively - BEFORE the horse leaves the barn.
Thanks for listening - I hope for a response for all of us.
Sincerely,
Kerry Hadley
