Enemy centered mindset. You forgoe things that benefit you because they might help the enemy.

Sometimes you have to stand for something even if it’s inconvenient.

It's working too. All my friends stopped using Facebook for similar reasons. My feed went from a 24/7 pleasant reunion to a fetid swamp and now I also have stopped using it.

We certainly evaluate companies on their CEOs if their CEOs make themselves high profile enough.

You are certainly judged here if you have a Tesla because of Musk hence why sales have dropped 50%.

Other companies that don't have as high profile CEOs can get away with terrible points of view.

Oh yeah? How is the ceo of your power company? Your refrigerator? Your garage door?

I just am very skeptical any of this is based on a harm based model of morality. Instead it smells like concern about perception or status:

If they hide their terrible opinions then its hard to made judgements.

Exactly, so your morality is actually based on media prominence and status, not harm.
