If it's not economically-driven, then it is nearly entirely political / ideological. And thus after those first 40 have left there's no (or few) more willing to do the same.
Au revoir, Felicia.
Guess it can be both. If you get fired (economically driven), you have more reason to act on your ideological beliefs. So it'll depend on whether people keep getting fired or not.

which scientists in which fields are getting fired and moving to France?
edit:
In a press release about its “Safe Space for Science” initiative, the University announced that the 40 U.S. scientists included people from Stanford, Yale, NASA, the National Institute for Health, and George Washington University. It said that most of their research topics were related to “health (LGBT+ medicine, epidemiology, infectious diseases, inequalities, immunology, etc.), the environment and climate change…as well as the humanities and social sciences…and astrophysics.”
Postdocs in biomedical research with PhD are not medical professionals. The practicing US clinicians (with MD) don't even know about these grant funding issues except from the media, do much better than their peers in Canada (or anywhere short of possibly Dubai/Saudi), and don't flee anywhere.

USAID funded fake-scientists then, that were probably imported to begin just to rubber stamp ghostwritten papers
Good riddance!
