Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb, has publicly shifted his political allegiance to Donald Trump, citing the ongoing border crisis as a primary reason for his decision. Gebbia expressed his frustration with the Democratic Party for what he perceives as a failure to control illegal immigration and protect American citizens.
In a recent interview, Gebbia claimed that he could no longer support a party that, in his view, allows criminals to enter the country unchecked. He stated that his connections with prominent figures, including Health Secretary Robert Kennedy and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, have influenced his acceptance of Trump’s policies.
This change in stance comes amid heightened political tensions surrounding immigration policy in the United States. As the Biden administration continues to face criticism over its handling of the border situation, Gebbia"s endorsement of Trump signals a potential shift among business leaders who may feel disillusioned with the current administration"s approach.
Additionally, Gebbia hinted at his interest in a potential candidacy for a position within one of the DOGE departments, indicating his desire to become more involved in political matters. His switch to support Trump aligns with a broader trend of high-profile individuals reassessing their political affiliations in light of recent developments, including Trump"s recent moves related to national security.
