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.

Yeah tesla is much worse. More pointing out that founders have so much more financial ties to their companies than regular employees that their actions become extensions of the company. Its why founders have to be much more careful of their behavior than even regular CEOs who a company can let go and claim to have gotten rid of the problem. Founders generally won’t give up their share of the company.
