    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.
