Joe Gebbia joins DOGE

[Jo1009]

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?

I wrote to Airbnb and they sent some generated AI response and then referred me to this community page! I am going to fulfill my current bookings with Airbnb and then cancel and go with another agency. I truly can not support any company that aligns with Trump and Musk.

I got some feedback saying "we are only  here to sort out your problems, not enter into politics". They didn't even confirm the Gebbia is working with Musk.

 Please remove Joe Gebbia from his board position at airb&b org and pressure him to step down from DOGE or divest himself of his 7% interest in Airbnb. Your continued silence on this matter is unacceptable from a leader. I was about to list as a host and have enjoyed being a traveler but will support alternative platforms even if it costs me massively personally to do so. Gebbia’s support for Musk’s efforts is 100% unacceptable morally. To allow him to continue to chair the board for airb&b org sends a clear message of support for his actions. I understand not wishing to alienate segments of the population. How is that choice working out for Tesla stock?

Hi Marija,  Great letter.  Did you submit it?    Warmly- Liz 

[Jo1009]

I'd rather him step down from Airbnb.  He clearly doesn't have the value set that airbnb should be embracing.

[Marci824]

I am in agreement with others hosts and travelers. I cannot align with a company that is silent regarding their moral obligation to their customers to have board members that support a coup taking over the US. Please remove him ASAP!

[Jo1009]

Has anyone heard anything back from any emails they sent??

I am also going to ask, via my private social media accounts, for people to email airbnb and remove Joe.

The more the better!

Here is the email addresses again (cannot post actual email addresses here so you'll get the picture:)

I've already looked and looked. Can't find any way to contact airbnb and complain about this directly..... 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

ME TOO MARGIE!  SUCKS!

Guess it's VRBO for me! 

Why can't these people use their money for good! So much good could be done. Especially now. Why join him? It's time to be the antidote!

[Kathleen67]

Oh hell yeah. I’ve been hosting with Airbnb for 14 years and I am quitting immediately. I will not travel with them either. Airbnb is going DOWN over this crap! 

[Julee0]

Maybe they will toss Joe Gebbia out - if they do, I will stick with them.  He owns 7% of the company and sits on the board.  I think the Board of Directors should release him and put out a statement rebuking this maneuver.  If not, although I made a lot of money over the past 12 years hosting - I hope they TANK for this bs.

[Jo1009]

I wonder if there is an email address we can all write to asking for Joe Gebbia to resign or they. boot him out?  Maybe if enough people write they would....???

Any idea of who to write?
