At the end of the day, it's their company and they can do whatever they like with it, including using it as a political soap box. It may turn away some investors and VCs but I don't think these founders really care. The only exception is if they are a part of a corporation and that's all dependent on what sorts of limitations the corporation puts on their officers and directors.

It may turn away some investors and VCs By definition, if they have investors and VCs already, it's no longer their company to do as they please. Perhaps it's useful to go public with such opinions in some markets/environments. Perhaps it's unwise in general to alienate at least some people while trying to grow. Most often, it's not particularly useful to add to the social media chaos by posting "me too" opinions. It's more useful to join a demonstration, talk to friends (if they can bear you still) or vote accordingly.
