If you don't want your Mullvad fees going to fund neo-Nazis - or @mozilla VPN fees, which is rebranded Mullvad - cancel and get a refund immediately
that's whose "free speech" the official account is talking about here, and that's where your fees go to
EDIT: Mullvad has a 14 day refund policy. But the message below is a direct call to ask for a refund if you don't want to give money to Nazis.
If Mullvad refuse a refund, call your consumer protection agency. And reverse credit card charges on the basis of deceptive refund policy representations. It's not like you ever want to be a Mullvad customer again.

Analysis Summary
One Mullvad co-founder made a personal political donation that Gerard characterizes as supporting neo-Nazis — Mullvad's official statement says this is a private donation unrelated to company mission or ethics. The post conflates an individual co-founder's personal political activity with company funding, which is a misleading chain of causation. Gerard is pushing subscribers to demand refunds based on the founder's personal politics rather than Mullvad's actual business practices, which RTINGS and Gizmodo rate as privacy-strong.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Mullvad fees go to fund neo-Nazis”
One co-founder made a personal political donation. Mullvad's official statement says this is private and not part of company mission. The claim conflates personal donation with company funding.
“Mozilla VPN is rebranded Mullvad”
Mozilla does partner with Mullvad for VPN infrastructure, but this is a partnership, not rebranding. Search results do not clarify the exact relationship or whether Mozilla VPN uses identical Mullvad infrastructure.
“Mullvad has a 14 day refund policy”
Not confirmed in search results or linked Mullvad statement. Post presents this as fact supporting the refund advice, but the policy itself is not independently verified.
