    It is noteworthy that Mullvad did not donate any money to any political party.

      Same could be said of Tesla, but the profitability of the company provided funds for Elon to donate to who he wanted.

      I don’t think business and founder separation is really possible.

        To be a bit nitpicky, Tesla has a load of shit reputation besides having a con artist and fascist CEO. Worker’s rights abuse, accidents, false claims (lies-lies-lies).

        Though it is true that Elon is *so* shit that buying Tesla would be no-go and shameful on my book even if the above wouldn’t be true. So you have a point. Personally, I categorize it as Mullvad’s founder being misled rather than genuinely corrupt and evil. But it’s subjective, and I see and respect if people think differently.
