$5.7 billion worth Mark Cuban tussles with Elon Musk again on alleged partisan treatment against Donald Trump by ABC debate hosts
Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban had a tussle with billionaire Elon Musk on X regarding Donald Trump. The billionaire made a post on X, formerly Twitter, reposting Musk's post on the partisan treatment Trump, a former President of the USA and Republican party presidential candidate has received on ABC debate.
Musk criticized the ABC hosts for treating Trump differently. He also praised Trump's opponent Kamala Harris for exceeding expectations. However, the billionaire strongly displayed his support for the Republicans and that Trump would do a better job than Harris.
He next posed a question to his 197.3 million followers asking them if they wanted to see change. Cuban clapped back at Musk as the Mavericks owner asked his followers if they wanted a leader whose first inclination was to take away speech and remove a media outlet he didn't like.
"Do you want to support a candidate whose first inclination is to take away speech? To de-platform an outlet he doesn’t like?," Cuban tweeted.
This is not the first time the two billionaires have butted heads. Cuban and Musk have been involved in multiple back-and-forth interaction on X. The Mavericks owner once claimed that Musk's social media platform X is not a free speech bastion.
"I know everyone thinks this platform is a bastion of free speech. I see the opposite," Cuban tweeted on 2 September.
Cuban, whose net worth s $5.7 billion, as per Forbes, said that the social media platform was free as per the needs of Musk. He claimed that the Tesla owner was the 'ultimate arbiter' of the platform and that his biggest ploy is to make people think it's free.
