I don’t like how people abuse the term “purity test”, but this is a clear cut case. The CEO has been good in every respect except for how one time he congratulated the Republicans when they did an objectively good thing for the goals he’d be working towards as the Proton CEO.
Guy donates to liberal causes (like Fight for the Future), supports gender equality and social justice causes, openly criticizes racists, donates for refugees, worked on a project with Lina Khan, criticizes Trump on social media.
But he once congratulated Trump on nominating an anti-Big Tech candidate to run the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice – an objectively good thing – so now he’s MAGA. Complete lunacy.
I wouldn’t trust proton. After the post of the CEO.

There is a lot of missing context and nuance lost in that article.
