Indian-American Billionaire Vinod Khosla and Tesla CEO Elon Musk Clash Over US Presidential Race

The heated exchange between Vinod Khosla and Elon Musk on X highlighted the deep divide within the Democratic Party following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race. Khosla’s call for an “open convention” to select a more moderate candidate was met with Musk’s support for Donald Trump and JD Vance, leading to a clash over values and policies.

Khosla criticized Trump for his lack of values, dishonesty, and mistreatment of women, while Musk defended the president, emphasizing the need for a meritocratic administration. The debate also touched on Trump’s stance on climate change, NATO, and American leadership, showcasing the stark differences in their political ideologies.

The exchange underscores the dangerous impact of Trump’s narcissistic lying on democracy, as it erodes trust in institutions, spreads misinformation, and polarizes the electorate. His disregard for truth and manipulation of facts pose a significant threat to the foundations of a functioning democracy.
