Khosla Urges Non-White Staff to Quit Musk Firms as 2 Billionaires Trade Racism Insults

3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Jul 14

Summary

  • Vinod Khosla urged non-white employees at Elon Musk’s companies to quit and work for him instead, saying Musk wants “WAGA” — “white America great again.”
  • Musk fired back on his social platform, calling Khosla a “pompous asshole” and saying he had gone “full r-tard,” escalating a public feud between the two billionaires.
  • Khosla has already attacked Donald Trump in similar blunt terms, writing after Joe Biden left the 2024 race that he could not support someone who “hates immigrants like me.”
  • The clash is drawing fresh attention because Khosla is tied to a bid for the Seattle Seahawks, with his wife Neeru expected to serve as controlling owner.
