    A great Medium article on the topic that analyzes the entire situation: (coming to the conclusion that no, Proton does not really seem to be in favor of Trump/MAGA at all given their actual actions, and how the original statement was misinterpreted)

    The fact that this article had to be written in the first place is the dealbreaker for me

    So fact that people misinterpret and misinform other dealbreaker for correct information?

    You definitely antivax and probably flat earther.

    He's weirdly a MAGA Trump supporter and publicly supporting them from the official Proton account, despite not being an American citizen. It's a crazy take, but he is a CEO, so those kind of people stick together.

    Is this referring to anything beside his tweet in Jan?

    I'm not saying that Proton is MAGA. I'm saying its CEO and founder is. He was literally quote-boosting and giving his support to a tweet that said "Make America Great Again."
