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.
Stop misinformation https://piefed.social/comment/8747739
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."
Read the article. He promote election of anti big tech person to ftc by trump. And then say that trump start anti big tech thing in last office time, which just a fact.
Not because trump good, but because trump do something against big tech.
I read it, and disagree.
Is this referring to anything beside his tweet in Jan?
I believe the tweet was from December, but this article has the timeline.

Yeah, let's wait till we find out that they actually can and do unencrypt our data.
What could go wrong?
