Elon Musk and Vinod Khosla Clash Over Argentine Leader’s Policies on X

In a heated exchange on X, Elon Musk and Indian-American billionaire Vinod Khosla found themselves at odds over the policies of Argentine leader Javier Milei. The argument began when Khosla criticized Milei’s economic strategies, prompting Musk’s swift and passionate response.

Khosla, known for his candid opinions, tweeted, “Milei’s policies are a recipe for disaster. They lack foresight and could lead Argentina into deeper economic turmoil.”

Poverty is gross underemployment. Too nuanced for macho brains to understand. My nuance vs. your outright posting of false pics? I get a community comment and yours didn’t. I thought you were above this kind of bias at X. https://t.co/roEVT9mxVI

Musk, a vocal supporter of Milei, quickly fired back, “Vinod, you’re missing the bigger picture. Milei’s bold reforms are exactly what Argentina needs to break free from its economic shackles.”

The exchange didn’t stop there. Khosla responded, “Elon, idealism is great, but practical solutions are what matter. Milei’s approach is too radical and untested.”

Why does Elon always go for name calling Vinod?

Musk countered, “Radical problems require radical solutions. Incremental changes won’t cut it anymore.”

The debate drew significant attention on the platform, with users commenting on both sides. One user commented, “It’s fascinating to see two tech giants debate over international politics. Shows how interconnected our world has become.”

How did Khosla not think this through. A 52% unemployment rate is just absurd, it should have triggered something in his brain to say this doesn't seem right.

Another user added, “While I respect both Musk and Khosla, I think it’s important to consider the real impact of Milei’s policies on the Argentine people.”
