SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has criticized Elon Musk for his climate change tutorial directed at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, calling it “dumb.”

In a series of posts on X, Khosla addressed Trump’s comment about temperature variations, stating, “You know as well as I that’s a dumb way to look at it. The aggregate macro trends are indisputable. The earth is warming.” Khosla added that he doesn’t expect Trump to understand the nuances of CO2 levels and their consequences but acknowledged that Trump reaching out to Musk, who has significantly contributed to climate initiatives, was sensible.

Khosla accused Musk of shirking his responsibility by downplaying the severity of climate change. He shared a detailed critique of Musk’s approach, arguing that Musk oversimplified the conversation when explaining renewable energy to Trump. Musk had emphasized the importance of renewable energy due to finite petroleum resources and the health impacts of carbon dioxide buildup, seemingly addressing Trump as if he were a child.
