"On Monday evening, Khosla said on X that Musk frames racism as a "great and desirable paradigm," responding to a September post from the CEO in which Musk said "white people are a rapidly diminishing minority of global population." The Tesla CEO has promoted posts in the past regarding changing demographics around the white population. In his post, Khosla called on employees at Musk's companies to ditch their employers and join Khosla Ventures' portfolio, which includes AI startups such as OpenAI and Replit."
""Vinod, you're not just such a pompous asshole that you tried to stop the public from using a public beach near your house..." Musk wrote. "My partner, Shivon, is half Indian and my eldest son with her is named in honor of the great Indian physicist Chandrasekhar." Musk appeared to be referring to Khosla's yearslong attempt to block public access to a beach near the VC's home on the Peninsula coast in San Mateo County."
Vinod Khosla accused Elon Musk of promoting racism after Musk posted that 'white people are a rapidly diminishing minority of global population.' Khosla urged employees at Tesla, SpaceX and X to quit and join Khosla Ventures, inviting them to email LinkedIn and noting investments in AI startups such as OpenAI and Replit. Musk responded by calling Khosla a 'pompous asshole' and using a derogatory slur. Musk referenced Khosla's legal fights over Martins Beach and mentioned his partner Shivon and their son named after physicist Chandrasekhar. Khosla immigrated to the US in the 1970s. Both billionaire figures did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
