I think the response makes it obvious that a company is not it's co-CEO, and a co-CEO is not a company.
Granted a tiny amount of your fees may make their way to a political party you vehemently oppose, but I think you're also supporting a lot of other people in the organisation that are on your side.
It's not a "tiny" amount of money, this dude is the CEO who makes all of the money in the company and any money going to Nazis is problematic especially when the Nazis in question are almost fully funded by this CEO and yes the CEO is the face and moral driver of a company.
Pretty ironic saying the company supports free speech when the biggest money maker is bankrolling a group that specifically gasses free speech and I doubt the other working there have even a sliver of speech that the CEO does.
Before your fee gets into a CEOs hands it pays for people's salaries and the costs of the company. That's what I mean by a tiny amount. It's only what's left after that that the CEO can benefit from.
