Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla on Wednesday slammed billionaire Elon Musk over his climate-talk tutorial to Republican Party Presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying his thoughts about CO2 ppm (parts per million) levels and their consequences were simply “dumb”.
In a thread on X social media platform, Khosla said that regarding Trump’s point of the temperature going up in some places and down in others, “you know as well as I that’s a dumb way to look at it.
