The calls come after Airbnb's billionaire co-founder, Joe Gebbia has reportedly joined Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).


Airbnb is facing calls for a boycott after a host in North Carolina canceled a booking and made derogatory remarks about the guest's Israeli background. The incident, which involved the host refusing service and using offensive language, has sparked widespread criticism on social media platforms. The controversy escalated when the host's comments were shared online, leading to accusations of discrimination. Airbnb has responded by stating they do not tolerate discrimination and are investigating the matter, emphasizing their commitment to inclusivity. However, this event has raised concerns about the platform's policies on discrimination and how they are enforced, prompting discussions on the responsibilities of online rental platforms in ensuring fair treatment for all users.
