Elon Musk slams Indian billionaire for ‘No Plebs’ sign on public beach

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently had a row with Indian-American venture capitalist Vinod Khosla on social media. The argument started on Sunday when Musk shared a post alleging Khosla had put a “no plebs allowed” sign on a public beach near his California property.

What exactly happened? 

Musk tweeted, “Wow, so crazy that @vkhosla put this sign on a public beach.”

"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 tech billionaire said in a follow up post, quoting a Bloomberg report about a legal denial to Khosla's years long bid to limit access to Martins Beach near his home which is also a popular surfing spot.

"I’m throwing a party on Vinod’s beach! For cuisine, I’m thinking BBQ," Musk wrote in another post, taking a go at Khosla.

Responding to these posts, Khosla bashed Elon Musk saying he owed him an apology for "spreading falsehoods" using an "AI-generated" photo.

"You owe me an apology for spreading falsehoods.” The co-founder of Sun Microsystems and founder of Khosla Ventures wrote. “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 rational debate and not get personal," he said adding that he had never "put up this sign or anything even remotely like this."

Elon Musk says “Sorry”

Musk sarcastically replied to the Indian-origin billionaire CEO saying, "Sorry I made a sign about you restricting access to a public beach. That was so extremely terrible. Please forgive me.”
