Brian Chesky

At the 2025 Masters of Scale Summit, stated he tries not to wade into political topics, describing politics as "inherently divisive" and incompatible with Airbnb's unifying mission. Noted that millions of Trump and Harris supporters literally stayed in each other's homes through Airbnb during the 2024 election, making partisan stances a business liability.

Maintained Airbnb's "Live and Work Anywhere" policy since 2022 with a structured monthly "gathering week" in San Francisco. Publicly criticized peers' RTO mandates: "I guarantee you that many of these CEOs calling people back to the office are going away to the Hamptons for the summer." Said forcing people into offices is not how you make teams work harder — deadlines and milestones are.

Brian Chesky quiet on geopolitics. Airbnb previously delisted West Bank settlements under pressure.
