Vinod Khosla: ‘Decent’ Musk Employees Resign And Join My Company

India-West News Desk

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – In a blistering social media escalation, billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has publicly denounced Elon Musk, accusing the Tesla and SpaceX CEO of shifting his political focus from the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement to a racially charged “White America Great Again” (WAGA) agenda.

Khosla, whose net worth was estimated at approximately $10 billion in mid-2025, used Musk’s own platform X to characterize Musk’s recent commentary as a “racism is great and desirable” paradigm.

Khosla in his tweet, urged non-white staff and “decent whites” currently employed at Musk’s companies to resign and seek positions within the Khosla Ventures portfolio.

The conflict stems from Musk’s increasing vocalization regarding global racial demographics. Musk recently shared data claiming that the white population has plummeted, warning of a “rapidly diminishing” minority.

Musk has recently clashed with the South African government, alleging that his satellite internet service, Starlink, was denied an operating license because he is not Black. He characterized South Africa’s current regulatory environment as having “more anti-white laws than there were anti-black laws under Apartheid,” though South African officials maintain that Starlink simply has not met the standard regulatory requirements for foreign investment.

Musk has hit back at Khosla’s allegations, dismissing him as “pompous” and defending his personal and professional ties. He pointed to his partner, Shivon Zilis, who is of Indian descent, and noted that their eldest son is named after the Nobel Prize-winning Indian physicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.
