Their tax documents unambiguously state that the US government is their primary funder.
At any rate, the USG has enormous leverage over the governance of Tor and that should worry anyone that pretends to care about their online privacy re: Tor.
Mullvad putting out PR about funding TP as a peer of the USG doesn't make TP look good, it makes Mullvad look seedy.

No one is objecting to this fact. We're all objecting to your conclusion that because the US Gov gives Tor money that it is not secure and/or has a nefarious purpose. This is quite literally the same logic people use to justify the anti-vaccination movement and many other dangerous conspiracies. You don't have to trust the US Gov (what American does?), but you need more than association to prove something nefarious.
