As Republican and Democratic canvassers make their final push to get out the US vote, the famed tech investor Vinod Khosla has been making the case for Vice President Kamala Harris with a very specific audience in mind: Elon Musk. On the social media platform owned by his fellow billionaire, Khosla has pressed the case in a series of X posts that former President Donald Trump is the wrong candidate for the future of the planet. Although Khosla is a former Republican, he says in an interview that he will be voting for Harris. But he doesn’t expect tech investors to see much fallout no matter who wins. “I don’t think there’ll be any difference in policy between the two when it comes to tech.”

About The Author
Mr. Khosla seems to have no idea about how fake the American democracy is. Billionaires, Wallstreet bankers, CIA and military industrial complex have been selecting and most often succeeding in placing their candidates in the White House and then controlling the policies by getting selected in the cabinet and as head of important govt. institutions. It always amazed me how America always lends up choosing empty heads as its president. Only a handful of These presidents could considered as intellectual and knowledgeable about the world. These above mentioned people usually get through their policies but it has created so much mayhem , destruction and genocide in this world. I rather have a president who thinks on his own and has guts to tell these guys to shut up, and who would strive to bring peace and prosperity and friendship through out the world. Kamala is an empty head candidate who will do the bidding of the groups mentioned above and continue the war economy, an ultimate disaster for America and the world. Unfortunately, the last intelligent president JFK, who dared to challenge these groups was assassinated; and now they are trying to do the same.
I wonder if MR. Khosla knows what Biden administration has been doing in India, and what they did in Bangladesh and not forget about in Ukraine during Obama/ Biden administration the Regime changes which is resulting in war, destruction and genocide. These policies are not just recent but going on since the WWll. Kamala, it’s pretty sure will continue the same. What a shame. Think again Mr. Khosla. Money isnot every thing. In fact it is the money of Jagat Seth which helped East India Company to occupy India.
Vinod, you doing way too much mental gymnastics. Incoherent. Never seen an interviewer own the interviewee so substantively
