Airbnb and politics

I've been hosting on Airbnb for several years and am a longstanding Superhost. I am very disturbed about recent posts on social media about the co-founder. I'm actually disgusted with him and his choices, but I do acknowledge that he has a right to make those choices, even though I believe the current administration deserves the adjective "evil" and poses a very serious existential threat to our country and to the future of my grandchildren. What I would like to see, is a statement from Airbnb's current CEO or Board who could clarify and at least state that Airbnb itself does not send money to DOGE or Trump and retains neutrality at least publicly in political matters.

These extreme times call for more backbone than neutrality. Why have so much power and money if you’re not going to stand on the right side of history? The company may have made their founders billions but kowtowing to money interests over the principles your company was founded on is not what it should stand for. Gebbia needs to just leave the board. I’m selling my stock, removing my experience from the platform and booking similar hosts through other platforms in the meantime.
