Companies have a legal persona and (a) can be sued, (b) pay taxes, (c) protect entrepreneurs who create jobs, (d) etc etc. There are dozens of reasons why companies are legal persons. As for whether they should 'interfere' in an election, "no taxation without representation." might ring a bell, so they'd should at least be able to express an opinion. No more than that, but having a view is not interfering.
Outright buying of elections, obviously not, that's one reason why honest politicians (ha!) do things like place their own companies out of their (and their family's reach), publish their tax returns, and so on. And a company expressing an opinion is far less disturbing to me than stories of foreign government officials talking to one particular side in a campaign, whilst also funding far-right parties in other countries (in a pretty well documented pattern of behaviour, that also includes importing it's own tattooed national socialist supporters into other countries for staged photo ops in which "local Nazis are attacking" that government's special interests). Maybe it's just me that has issues with that.
