Wiki-—— Billionaire Khosla hosted Barack Obama for a fundraising dinner in 2013, and Joe Biden in 2024 at his home in Portola Valley. Khosla endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Khosla was a major proponent of the “Yes on 87” campaign to pass California’s Proposition 87, The Clean Energy Initiative, which failed to pass in November 2006.
With the withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election, Khosla called for the Democratic Party to hold an open convention for its nominee. He stated that it was “hard for me to support someone with no values, lies, cheats, rapes, demeans women, hates immigrants like me” ....... referencing Donald Trump.
Khosla pledged his support for Kamala Harris in July 2024 and joined “VCs for Kamala”, a group of more than 100 tech investors and entrepreneurs signatories for Harris.

“rapes, demeans women”
Maybe Trump can get the $5 million he’ll probably have to pay Carroll from a lawsuit against him, or millions more.
Every million counts, paraphrasing Tesco.
After reading posts on FR, it is a wonder why any India background would vote Republican. No one ever forgets being discriminated for whatever reason.
And yet they wouldn’t let Rush Limbaugh be part owner of the St Louis Rams! No wonder I still hate the NFL.
