NEW YORK: Tech businessman Elon Musk and Indian-American venture capitalist Vinod Khosla were engaged in a conflict of thoughts on Monday over Republican Donald Trump’s reservation for the US presidency.
In a post on X, Khosla said it is difficult for him to help someone like Trump, who has” no principles, lies, cheats, murders, demeans women”, and “hates refugees” like him. ” He may cut my income or decrease some regulation but that is no reason to accept wickedness in his private beliefs. Do you want president who will set up culture by a century in his first year? ” he asked.
Replying to his post, Musk said Trump “does n’t hate you. In truth, I think he likes you. Meet him and find out for yourself”. The Tesla CEO said he is no suggesting that Trump is without deficiencies, but there should be an leadership that is more likely to be normative and promote individual rights.
Khosla in his email said he agreed with that,” but leave culture and drill child drill? Get MAGA ( Make America Great Again ) and leave Nato and American management and social power? “. The leading Silicon Valley trader added:” I was a politically liberal listed macroeconomic Republican till weather made me change to Independent. “
In support of Trump, Musk said culture will continue to have oil and gas. ” I do n’t think we should demonise an industry that is essential for humanity… Green energy production and consumption is growing quite rapidly and is tracking to surpass the use of petroleum fuels. That may occur no matter what Trump does. ” Modi
