Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is drawing scrutiny after being caught deleting a series of social media posts in which he previously voiced support for Vice President Kamala Harris. The purge of pro-Harris content, first reported by several conservative commentators, comes on the heels of Harris’s loss to Donald Trump in the recent 2024 presidential election.
The controversy began when Libs of TikTok, a popular conservative social media account, highlighted Cuban’s activity, posting, “Mark Cuban is apparently deleting a bunch of his pro-Kamala posts. What’s going on @mcuban??”
Cuban defended himself, claiming this is nothing new. “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,” Cuban responded. But his defense hasn’t silenced critics, who argue Cuban’s history of post-election cleanups doesn’t excuse the timing or appearance of the move.
Others joined in the criticism, with notable voices like financial analyst Chris Perruna saying, “Mark Cuban is deleting tweets. He has to be the biggest loser of this election.”

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

With his wealth and influence, Cuban has long been a voice in the political realm, often quick to share his takes. Cuban and Trump, both prominent billionaires, have engaged in a public feud spanning over two decades, marked by personal insults and political disagreements.
Their feud intensified going up to the 2024 presidential campaign. Cuban, a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris, criticized Trump for not surrounding himself with “strong, intelligent women,” suggesting that such individuals intimidate him. In response, Trump labeled Cuban a “really dumb guy” and a “major loser,” asserting that he does, in fact, work with strong women.
Cuban has also been critical of Trump’s economic policies, particularly regarding tariffs and manufacturing strategies. In July, he joined over 200 venture capitalists and tech leaders in pledging support for Harris. Cuban actively campaigned for Harris, participating in economic town halls and public discussions to promote her economic policies. He has praised Harris for her understanding of entrepreneurial challenges and her commitment to creating an environment conducive to business growth.
Cuban, along with other business leaders, launched “Business Leaders for Harris,” a coalition of founders, CEOs, and small business owners acting as surrogates to encourage support for Harris within the business community.
In October, Trump criticized Cuban calling him a “loser” and a “weak and pathetic ‘bully.’” Trump also mocked Cuban’s athletic abilities, saying, “Really low clubhead speed, a total non-athlete!”
