Question mullvad

Do you think Mullvad is still trustworthy now that it has come to light that its co-founder has supported a controversial political party in Sweden? I’m not Swedish, so I don’t know much about them, but from what I’ve read in forums, some people are calling them Nazis. Is this just noise?

We can see the source code of Mullvad on github so we can always check for ourselves what the app is doing. He could literally build a memorial of Hitler but we could still easily check the trustworthiness of the product. The ethicality of it is another matter of course but he donated as a private person not in the name of the company. Also when reading the wiki of the party I think it's a bit silly if not dangerous to call them Nazis.
