Andrew Dudum, CEO of the rapidly growing telehealth enterprise Hims & Hers, has ignited a storm of controversy and significant financial losses for his company following comments supporting students who protested against Israel on college campuses. His remarks have spurred a sharp decline in the company’s stock value, which saw a staggering loss of nearly $210 million in just a few hours.
The backlash began after Dudum made a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where he praised the “moral courage” of students facing university discipline for their roles in anti-Israel protests, suggesting that this courage was more valuable than a college degree. He encouraged these protesters to continue their activism and highlighted that many companies, including his own, were eager to hire such individuals.
