That's the big question everyone in that thread is asking. A trusted business partner and sudden unsollicited spam, not to mention "in kind benefits" to a political party.
Some? That's MOST of it. Even hard leftists in there are saying "You just crossed a huge red line with this shit. Even if I agree with you, YOU DON'T DO THAT." On top of that, other business CEOs and managers having to deal with offices that they have to force politics out because it'd make the work environment volatile, and suddenly everyone got a big-ass email from their expense accounting partner.
What I saw on places like LinkedIn was a bunch of CTO/CIO or the office IT guy being brought into the VP/COO/CEO/CFO's office asking if Expensify got hacked and then having to tell the executive staff that no, the CEO of the company actually did this. Quickly followed by call to legal to see what they can do to get out of any contracts.

They trusted a woke business partner. I think that part is perfectly legal. The "in kind benefit" part could be interesting, though.
They went international with this email. This is definitely a violation of privacy regulations in multiple regions (EU, AU and UK).
I doubt they sent an email to anyone outside of the US.
There are people in the very thread saying they got it in Canada and Switzerland. This was clearly a "send to all" move rather than carefully curated.
GDPR death incoming then...unless the EU decides to let it go because left-wing politics.
Glad to see there's at least some pushback in the comments.

Bruh maybe I'm seeing a different thread. A lot of people still trying to do gymnastics to justify it.
