Ask HN: Is it ok that founders are taking to social media about politics?

Is it fair that technology company founders are taking to social media and claiming that their entire company is against Trump's executive order? This feels like the definition of entitlement and quite honestly hypocrisy. As long as you prescribe to the founders political beliefs all good. Think if you're an employee of any of these company's and support Trump how'd you feel. Vilified... Alienated. Causing a stressful work environment. Aren't these the sort of things that social justice warriors claim to be fighting against?

The founders absolutely have the right to say what they believe, but saying their entire company takes a stance on a political issue rubs me the wrong way.
