Mark Cuban Caught Deleting Support For Harris From Social Media

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is under fire for deleting several social media posts where he previously voiced support for Vice President Kamala Harris.

This removal of pro-Harris content, initially flagged by conservative commentators, comes in the wake of Harris’s recent loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

The controversy began after the conservative social media platform, Libs of TikTok, highlighted Cuban's actions, questioning: “Mark Cuban is apparently deleting a bunch of his pro-Kamala posts. What’s going on @mcuban??”

Cuban responded by explaining his routine of deleting posts: “I’ve always gone back and deleted tweets. For years. Same with 2020 election. 2016 election. Same with other stuff. You can use the wayback machine if you really want to see them.”

Nevertheless, critics remain unconvinced, suggesting that Cuban’s history of post-election deletions does not adequately explain the timing of this move.

Financial analyst Chris Perruna commented on X, saying, “Mark Cuban is deleting tweets. He has to be the biggest loser of this election.”

Another commentator, Tiffany Fong, remarked, “Mark Cuban has officially deleted all of his X posts about Kamala Harris.”

A third user added, “Cool. We didn’t and we won’t forget the vitriol.”

Former Google and Amazon staffer Sean McBride weighed in: “He should have just deleted his account.”

Cuban and Trump, both high-profile billionaires, have maintained a long-standing public feud characterized by personal insults and political disagreements.

Their conflict intensified during the 2024 presidential race, with Cuban, a vocal Harris supporter, criticizing Trump for avoiding “strong, intelligent women” and implying that such individuals intimidate him. Trump, in response, labeled Cuban a “really dumb guy” and a “major loser,” asserting that he indeed works with strong women.

Following the election, Trump appointed his campaign co-chair, Susie Wiles, as the first female White House chief of staff and nominated South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to serve as Secretary of Homeland Security.

Cuban has also been vocal against Trump’s economic policies, particularly on tariffs and manufacturing approaches. In July, he joined over 200 venture capitalists and tech leaders in supporting Harris, actively campaigning for her and participating in economic town halls to discuss her policies. Cuban praised Harris for her apparent understanding of entrepreneurial needs and commitment to creating a business-friendly environment.

However, several business experts and economists criticized her financial policies, like the plan to offer $25,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance to certain homebuyers, noting that such policies might merely inflate home prices as sellers adjust to the anticipated assistance.

Her proposed price controls to curb alleged “price-gouging” by food companies and grocers also faced backlash. Economists argued that this could put many of them out of business, given the industry’s slim profit margins, which average around 3 percent.

In a September interview with Fox News host Neil Cavuto, Cuban dismissed Trump’s proposal to implement broad tariffs on many imports as “insane” and “inflationary.”

“First of all, strategic tariffs aren’t bad. So if a country is trying to dump in the United States and we have a manufacturer there, tariff them. That’s great,” Cuban stated. “But across-the-board tariffs [of] 10 or 20% is just inflationary. It’s a tax on the American consumer.”

During his first term, Trump generated hundreds of billions in revenue from tariffs and renegotiated NAFTA into the USMCA, which provided a more favorable trade deal for the U.S.
