Yeah I just expected better of Mullvad as a long standing customer. They seemed pretty politically neutral which I prefer.

One could argue that 'politically neutral' could also be a policy they apply to their employees at all levels; i.e. if everyone gets along at the office and does their job, that's really all that matters.

If anything, respecting an employee's personal life privacy seems fairly in-line with the values one would want in a privacy-focused VPN company.

"We have worked extremely hard to ensure that your internet browsing cannot be retrieved by the police, even with a warrant, and that you can be anonymous online" is not at all "politically neutral"

Like, I agree with and support their politics, but that doesn't make something politically neutral.

Their co-founder (not just an employee) is bankrolling a party that’s leader has called for the expelling of all immigrants. This fact is not in dispute.

That doesn't mean the behavior of the company is political in the same direction? Am I taking crazy pills?

You're just playing with language. I can say:

"I'm surprised the co-founder of a freedom of speech company is contributing to a political party that wants to force religious charter schools to close."

Can you show me a source where this party or Mullvad founder(s) are against non-white? Cite an exact statement please.

I don't think anyone gives a sh*t about skin color, but of course it's legitimate to care about cultural background and education, not wanting uneducated people with vastly different culture that doesn't align with the host country is a valid stance and it makes sense to maintain proper equilibrium in the said country.
