In reply to Khosla, Musk said, “You’re not just such a pompous a****** that you tried to stop the public from using a public beach near your house, you’ve also gone full retard. My partner, Shivon, is half Indian and my eldest son with her is named in honor of the great Indian physicist Chandrasekhar.”
On January 27, Khosla accused Musk of promoting ‘WAGA’ (White America Great Again) instead of MAGA (Make America Great Again). He also urged non-white employees at Tesla, X and SpaceX to quit their positions.”Elon Musk doesn’t want MAGA, he wants WAGA or “white America great again” as a racism is great and desirable” paradigm. All non-whites in Tesla, SpaceX, X, etc and all decent whites should quit and join our portfolio. Email us your linkedin!” Khosla posted on X.

The post was in response to Musk expressing concern recently over the declining white population globally, which has dropped to 8% from 36% in 1900. “White people are a rapidly diminishing minority of the global population,” he shared in September 2025.
Earlier this month, Musk drew sharp criticism for using the ‘100’ emoji to endorse a post on X stating, “If White men become a minority, we will be slaughtered… White solidarity is the only way to survive”.
