Airbnb CEO says Trump’s wall plan puts him ‘on wrong side of history’

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky is the latest Silicon Valley executive to take a shot at Donald Trump, the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee. 

During a interview at a conference in France on Monday, Chesky said Trump’s push to build a wall along the United States-Mexico border puts him on the wrong side of history.

Other major tech voices, like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, have also taken veiled shots at Trump’s immigration policies. And his support among major donors in Silicon Valley has been weak. 

A number of technology companies including HP Inc., Motorola and Apple have all decided not to help sponsor the GOP convention amid a pressure campaign from advocates calling for major corporations to repudiate Trump. 

Trump has also had long-running feuds with companies like Amazon and Apple. 

But during a CNBC interview last October, Trump had kind words for Airbnb, even though he said he does not allow residents in his buildings to use the app to rent out their rooms. 

He said the company is interesting, adding that he would probably not support more regulation for the company. He also said that it is “great for some people, I think it is probably going to be very successful over a period of time.”
