Vinod Khosla's Gulfstream heads to Puerto Vallarta after week of Musk feud

Vinod Khosla's Gulfstream V (N85NV) was tracked departing San Carlos Airport (KSQL) at 20:22 UTC on June 30, landing at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (MMPR) two hours and 51 minutes later, per flight data. The aircraft reached a cruising altitude of 41,025 feet.

If Vinod Khosla was on board, the timing would place him in Puerto Vallarta the same week he made national headlines for accusing Elon Musk of promoting a “white America great again” agenda on X, per a Times of India report. Musk responded by calling Khosla a “pompous a*****e” over the ongoing Martins Beach access dispute. The trip could offer a respite from that heated exchange.

Khosla, a co-founder of Sun Microsystems and founder of Khosla Ventures, often shuttles between his Portola Valley home and investment meetings. A flight to a resort destination like Puerto Vallarta suggests a personal rather than business agenda, especially after a contentious public week.
