So, to be clear the "MAGA" stuff is all in the context of that tweet. I put it in quotes because it was not MAGA, but that's another topic.
If he wanted to move out of Switzerland, why is he not doing that? It seems quite clear to me that he provides clear and obvious motivations why he would move away from Switzerland if this or that law passes. If the swiss law doesn't protect privacy anymore, I expect them to move, if anything.
Have you seen to whom they donate the money for their annual charity fundraiser?
Anyway, educating the population is a decennial investment. How does it help when the Parliament discusses a law today?
Like what? And most importantly, why? Switzerland is often chosen by privacy companies because it has privacy-friendly laws. If these laws go away or change, why would I care for them to remain in Switzerland?

This means having made an enormous amount of due diligence which is realistic only if you actually want to move there.
Good call. But proton organizational structure is completely different, and so are their business model and target clientele, compared to other tech companies. I trust business interests more than anything else, because this is why companies do what they do.
P.s. His opinion is rightfully shared by other companies in the privacy space. I legitimately can't find one single wrong thing in his position on this matter.
