When the nominees for the 47th President of the United States were revealed, many celebrities publicly showed support for the candidates, and their past endorsements are easy to find on social media. However, Mark Cuban’s X (formerly Twitter) profile stands out for not displaying any current endorsements. This is notable, given that Cuban previously supported Kamala Harris on the platform. The absence of these posts isn’t due to a glitch, but rather reports suggest they were deleted.
Cuban responded, explaining that he has a history of deleting tweets, including those from the 2016 and 2020 elections. He added that people could use the Wayback Machine if they wanted to find his past posts.
Prior to the election results last week, Cuban had been an outspoken supporter of Harris, believing she would be a better president. He had praised her focus on economic growth, regulation, and small business support—areas that resonated with Cuban, given his criticism of Donald Trump’s policies. Cuban had also expressed concern about the unpredictability of Trump’s actions, such as impulsive tweets or tariffs that could affect businesses.
When Cuban’s deleted posts surfaced, it sparked backlash on social media. Some users questioned his integrity, speculating that he might be distancing himself from Harris to align with Trump, who will likely hold significant political influence. This shift in Cuban’s stance is seen by some as a move to protect his future interests.
