Airbnb founder co founder joins Musk at new Dept of Government Efficiency

I was shocked to read that Airbnb co founder Joe Gebbia is joining Elon Musk at this new government  department which has already sacked 10,000 in a government  witchunt - with no notice or reason.

 

It certainly doesn't align with the Airbnb brand of being open and welcoming to all.

@Helen3 thanks for sharing this. As I sit in far away Ghana I can only say that the goings on on the other side of various ponds and seas affect us all. Global village etc. Most of us in the thread are clearly not naive-- we know that as hosts and guests we will be affected by the presence, clout and influence of the billionaires.  The personal is political as they say. Nothing in this world is neutral. I will be adding my voice to the cries of disappointment.

@Helen3  Airbnb best get a wriggle on with this issue as their competitors are letting it be known about their inclusiveness.  https://partner.expediagroup.com/en-au/resources/blog/vacation-rental-inclusion-tips?

 

@Frances3408 

 

Previous Host Customer services ABB Laura Chambers did  work on Inclusiveness as can be found within this CC 

Maybe have a read of those topics to.

 

One can also of course exercise there viewpoints and submissions to their local Politicians as part of Due Processes as part of Constitutional rights enshrined since the days of the Magna Carta and as per The Bill of Rights.

Those ways may be more effective to get one's points across so it lands in Government official submissions to be heard.

@Helen427. I only mentioned the link as I got an email from that other platform yesterday, with a link to the article written from last October. Timing ..

Thanks @Frances3408 

Some of us have previously championed for those who are part of and continue to be a part of the  "Hidden Homeless" as it's a wider society issue with many parts to it.
