Mark Cuban lashed out at his fellow billionaire on Wednesday Elon Musk and other business people who recently expressed support for former President Trump’s campaign in a social media post.
The latest blowup between the two billionaires came after Musk ally David Sacks posted a list of X business leaders who have voiced support for Trump’s campaign — including Musk, Bill Ackman, Ben Horowitz, Marc Andreessen, Doug Leone, Joe Lonsdale, Peter Thiel, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss — with the message: “Come in, the water’s warm.”
Musk quoted Sacks’ post saying, “The choice is clear” — to which Cuban responded with a quote on Twitter that simply read, “The virtue of selfishness.”
Mark Cuban has been a longtime critic of former President Trump and said this spring that he was not concerned about President Biden’s age, though he recently indicated that he would be open to Democrats replacing Biden and possibly Vice President Harris on the party’s slate of candidates after Biden’s performance at the debate.

Cuban explained that he still had faith in President Biden’s Net Worth to carry out the duties of the presidency and still vote for him, he worried that the debate would show that “Trump is much better than Biden at sound bites and marketing,” which could cost him the election.
“For that reason, I am also open to the discussion of replacing Biden and/or Harris,” Cuban wrote on X the day after the presidential debate.
