The CEO of Expensify, a software company that developed an expense management system for businesses, made headlines last week for sending his 10 million customers an unsolicited email claiming they are voting against democracy if they support President Donald Trump.
CEO David Barrett said that "anything less than a vote for Biden is a vote against democracy."
"That's right," Barrett continued, "I'm saying a vote for Trump, a vote for a third-party candidate, or simply not voting at all — they're all the same, and they all mean: 'I care more about my favorite issue than democracy. I believe Trump winning is more important than democracy. I am comfortable standing aside and allowing democracy to be methodically dismantled, in plain sight.'"
Barrett even suggested that not supporting Biden is tantamount to risking "civil war."
What's happening now?
The mass email generated significant controversy, and now it appears Expensify is losing customers over Barrett's anti-Trump plea.
