This is immensely disappointing, @mullvadnet.
Your co-CEO is funding far-right authoritarians. Authoritarianism is not compatible with free speech – anyone who claims to be fighting for free speech has to be aware of this. In fact, the reason we need free speech is to fend of authoritarianism!
You used "free speech" to defend anti-free-speech views. This is the "paradox of tolerance". Only, it is not a paradox. Allowing intolerance erodes a tolerant society:

  Paradox of tolerance
  The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945), where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance. Popper posited that if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to erode or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices. In his own words: "[...] But we should claim the right to suppress them [intolerant ideologies] if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols."...
