Musk Hits Back at Khosla Over 'WAGA' Accusation, Cites Indian Partner & Son's Name

  • Elon Musk responded to Vinod Khosla's accusation of promoting "WAGA" (White America Great Again) by calling him a "pompous a**hole."
  • The dispute began after Musk commented on declining white population demographics globally on X, sparking Khosla's criticism.
  • Khosla alleged Musk's remarks reflected a racially motivated worldview and urged non-white and "decent whites" to leave Musk's companies.
  • Musk countered by stating his partner, Shivon Alice Zilis, is half Indian and one of their children is named after Indian physicist Chandrasekhar.
  • Shivon Zilis, a Canadian technology executive, was born to a Punjabi Indian mother and a Canadian father, and has four children with Musk.

Why It Matters: Musk refutes Khosla's 'WAGA' claims by highlighting his Indian partner and a child named after an Indian physicist.
