Unless they back track on his statements convincingly, I too am shopping for alternatives. Very sad, this is the one service I didn't expect to be caught up in US politics like this.

A tweet with a vague endorsement of a political appointment is enough to make you change email provider?

Are you also changing your phone manufacturer, bank, plumber, hair stylist too? Or don’t you bother checking their affiliations as closely?

FWIW, I will no longer be a customer of any company where I am aware that they financially or politically support the current regime. That especially includes local service providers.

Sure, I'm trying! I don't even care about supporting or not supporting a specific political party or side. I just don't want to support oligarchy. I don't want to do business with companies that are participating in politics.

Also, email is the most critical service most of us use, it is very important to know your email provider isn't supportive of a political regime, specially when that regime is using data collection for retribution, deportations, firings,etc..

Not to mention the insurrectionism, attempted election theft, and raping.
