Elon Musk gets into a furious argument with Indian-American venture investor Vinod Khosla in which he says, "You are dumb."

Since Milei gained power, Argentina has been dealing with a recession, significant inflation, and a large loss of jobs. Poverty is at 53% while unemployment is at 52%. Elon Musk and Vinod Khosla have gotten into a public argument about these statistics.

Elon Musk, the owner of X, and Vinod Khosla, an Indian-American billionaire and venture investor, recently engaged in a contentious discussion on social media.

Musk referred to Khosla as "dumb" in a post he posted and denied the information provided.

Khosla had sent an item on Argentina's increasing rates of poverty from the Financial Times, a British newspaper.

Argentina's 52% unemployment rate is the result of Miles's totalitarian austerity policies. The same thing will occur when @realDonaldTrump cuts expenditure. "His tariffs will raise inflation at the same time," he wrote.

According to the Financial Times story, President Javier Milei's "slashed public spending" was the cause of the increase in unemployment.

Musk said, "You are dumb," in response to the tweet, sparking a barrage of responses from both sides. How could "Khosla not think this through?" a user said.

"A 52% unemployment rate is just absurd, it ought to be given triggered something in his brain to say this doesn't appear right," he said.

In response, Musk said, "Seriously."

But Khosla was not about to concede. "Poverty is gross underemployment," he said. Too complex for men's minds to comprehend. My subtlety versus your blatantly fraudulent photo uploading? You didn't get a community comment, but I did. I believed you to be above this kind of discrimination at X."

While the 52% statistic is still up for question, a CNN story also claimed that under Milei, Argentina's poverty rate had risen to 53%—the highest level in more than 20 years.

"The country is in a deep recession and inflation remained in triple digits, though there are signs things are improving," the study said.

According to media sources, since Milei became government last year, the South American nation may have lost around 136,000 jobs. They imply that the losses in the unorganized sector may be much greater.

"The price increases have contributed to the purchasing power of workers and pensioners," the FT study that was previously referenced said.
