Billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has taken an unusually blunt and public political stance. It is time for the Democrats to “have an open convention and get a more moderate candidate who can easily beat” Republican Donald Trump, Khosla posted on X yesterday. This was after President Joe Biden dropped out as the party’s candidate and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.

Khosla, 69, is an independent who in the past has backed both Democratic and Republican candidates.

Khosla is a big believer and investor in climate improvement and sustainability technologies. He opposes Trump, 78, since he expects the former president, if re-elected in November, will end Democratic policies and funding for businesses and technologies which seek to protect and improve the environment.

Khosla also stated on X, in an exchange with X owner Elon Musk, that it is, “Hard for me to support someone with no values, lies, cheats, rapes, demeans women, hates immigrants like me.” Musk, co-founder of Tesla, SpaceX, and other companies and with a net worth of $252 billion, backs Trump for president.
