Joe Gebbia joins DOGE

Hi everyone,

 

Is anyone else concerned that Joe Gebbia has joined DOGE?

 

Does he still earn income from Airbnb as a board member? This makes me very sad as I can't support a guy like that.  I really like the service airbnb provides and the ease of use for a host.

 

Anyone else feel the same way?

Letters, emails and phone calls can be shrugged off.  Don't think that is going to save hosts from our choices and the impact that they have. While inconvenient for many to hear-  (ACTIONS) aka MONEY speaks LOUNDER than words!

I am an early adopter of Airbnb - booking most of my vacations on it for over a decade and  a Superhost myself.  This is devastating.  I will be making start booking vacations on VRBO and creating a post for my property on VRBO to eventually withdraw my cabin from Airbnb.  This one hurts, but it's important to do.

I totally agree!  I called SuperHost Support and expressed my thoughts about how this association is in conflict to Airbnb's stated Values.  I got the impression they are getting many calls...keep it up!

The Support team member sent me the link to give written feedback also, which I used.

I think we are all thinking the same way. Its a shame as we love the airbnb platform.

Big mistake for AirB&B users, and shareholders. I'm concerned that it will directly affect my bookings for 2025. I've already had one cancellation because of it.
He should distance himself from Musk or from AirB&B.

 

I'm very disappointed.

Shall we all get together as hosts world wide and QUIT AIRBNB as one? I think we should/must. How to go about setting this up. I want NOTHING to do with skuM's rise in FASCISM.... 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Start by opening an account elsewhere.  I am going to open an account at VRBO while I write to Airbnb and ask the to remove Joe Gebbia.

That is the only way to share as they won't allow people to post email addresses here

If you are reacting in this way it does not make much sense. 

It makes sense for many of us.

Yup. VERY concerned and PISSED. Someone always has to come in and ruin a good thing. Hopefully, the Board will pay attention to feedback and separate from this Loser. 

 

I started back with VRBO even though I hate the platform. This is my livelihood.

Yes.  I am concerned.  I have three reservations for this summer in Europe.  I am working to find alternatives so I can cancel those reservations.  This country and its leadership, DOGE included, only cares about retribution and profit.  It is "Billionaires Gone Wild."  "At some point a stand has to be made.  I will do my small part to take a stand and would be happy to consider any larger collective measure that anyone would like to propose.

Yes. I've hosted less than 2 years and have consistent 5 stars and been happy with the platform but i'm really considering dropping air bnb.  I can't support anything to do with Musk and Doge.

How/where do we complain to them?  I really hate starting all over witha different platform.  I have around 80 stellar reviews.
