Forbes StaffElon Musk recently had shared a post on X, alleging Vinod Khosla restricted access to a public beach near his house.
Elon Musk, taking to X, recently posted a photo of a sign that read “No plebs allowed” on a beach with the words “property of Vinod Khosla” written under it. Musk alleged that Khosla put a sign like this on a public beach near his home in California. However, Indian-origin venture capitalist and Kamala Harris supporter Vinod Khosla has hit back at Musk for this post.
Elon Musk shared a photo on X alleging Vinod Khosla restricting access to a public beach.
On Sunday, the X owner shared a photo on the platform with a sign that read, “No plebs allowed,” and alleged that it was put on a beach to restrict public access near Khosla’s California home. He wrote, “Vinod says we should send tens of thousands of unvetted migrants to small towns throughout America, but he didn’t even want to let the public walk on his beach.” The Tesla CEO said this in a follow-up post, quoting a Bloomberg report that said a judge denied Vinod Khosla’s years long bid to limit access to Martins Beach, a popular surfing spot near his home. Taking a dig at the Indian-origin businessman, in another post, Musk wrote, “I’m throwing a party on Vinod’s beach! For cuisine, I’m thinking BBQ.”
Vinod Khosla gives it back to Elon Musk.
Co-founder of Sun Microsystems and founder of Khosla Ventures, Vinod Khosla, slammed Musk, saying that he owed him an apology for “spreading falsehoods” using an “AI-generated” photo. He said, “You owe me an apology for spreading falsehoods. I think this post of yours needs a community comment for being a fraudulent photo. I presume it is AI-generated, but you can verify that. It will help X if we can have a rational debate and not get personal.” He added that he never “put up this sign or anything even remotely like this.”
Khosla further targeted Musk over his recent endorsement of Trump and said, “(I can throw personal truths at you unlike your false photo) as we agree on many things (illegal immigration, climate, meritocracy mostly but with caring…) and disagree on some big things like who can best save democracy and how important values are in picking a President.”
