It is highly relevant to this discussion. Vinod Khosla is an immigrant from India, which I believe skews his views on public property such that he believes it is his right to take said property for his own use with no repurcussions.
I think the more likely possibility is that he's just rich and his views come from that, rather than the country he's from.
Edit: there are plenty of born-and-raised Americans who think it's fine to take public property, too. Just look at the "Occupy Bird Sanctuary" people and their kin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Malheur_Nati...) So the whole origin thing seems completely irrelevant to the discussion.
