FACT CHECK: No, Mark Cuban’s Net Worth Did Not Take A $1 Billion Hit After Endorsing Kamala Harris
It originates from a satirical account.
It became abundantly clear in the early hours Wednesday that Donald Trump's transition from America's 45th to 47th president was going to be difficult for those liberals fed in recent months a constant diet of alarmist rhetoric and fascist accusations by the Democratic press.
Some Harris boosters have, however, managed to handle Trump's landslide electoral victory better than others or, at the very least, than the vice president.
Just days after saying that "it's not a stretch to call Donald Trump a fascist" and that it would be "Armageddon" were the Republican to win, former "Shark Tank" star and Harris booster Mark Cuban went online to wish Trump well.
"Congrats @realDonaldTrump," tweeted Cuban. "You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well. #Godspeed."
'Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he's "hot stuff" but he's absolutely nothing.'
While some commentators signaled appreciation for Cuban's eagerness to congratulate the man he previously accused of fascistic tendencies, others seized upon Cuban's tweet to mock the billionaire.
A handful of critics suggested, for instance, that Cuban's recent suggestion on "The View" that Trump is never seen "around strong, intelligent women" helped mobilize women to vote for Kamala Harris' opponent.
According to NBC News exit polls from 10 key states, 44% of American women voted for Republican candidates. The New York Post noted that reflects a two-point increase among women from the 2020 election.
Trump responded at the time, "Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he's 'hot stuff' but he's absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don't surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong."
'He won this one.'
Libs of TikTok replied to Cuban's congratulatory message, "Thank you for your help with your closing comments about women!"
Another user wrote, "Couldn't have done it without you."
Unlike Cuban, Cenk Uygur, co-creator of "The Young Turks," was initially not so gracious in defeat.
"Donald Trump is going to be the 47th president of the United States," Uygur said in a flop sweat on his show.
"So buckle up. Brace for impact. We're going to have four years of anarchy and chaos. My prediction, which is not a bold one, is they're going to rob the place blind."
"I'm not a big fan of the establishment, but they put some brakes in the car for Donald Trump, and he's a guy who needed brakes," continued Uygur. "Now there will be no brakes in the car. Steve Bannon is back. All the ghouls and goblins of the first administration that stayed through all of his corrupt and ridiculous demands are back. None of the people who had any sanity are back."
Despite feverishly painting a picture of a nightmare situation under Trump, Uygur had a moment of clarity, stating, "We say that Donald Trump is unstable and unhinged, and I think that is true. But you know that old saying about how insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? So how crazy are we if we just go back to the Joe Bidens, the Nancy Pelosis, the Chuck Schumers, the Kamala Harrises — the same — the Hillary Clintons — the same dumbass people who have been taking donor money, taking it and taking it, and delivering no results."
Uygur later composed himself and tweeted, "Trump and MAGA - congratulations. I hate it and I think it's huge mistake. But you won fair and square. Trump tried to steal the last election, but he won this one. And that's also democracy. If the American people want him back in, that's the final word! I believe in democracy."
Just after 1:40 a.m. Wednesday, the Kamala's Wins account on X tweeted, "BREAKING: The other team has more electoral votes."
Unlike Cuban, Uygur, and the Harris booster account, neither the vice president nor her campaign have acknowledged Trump's landslide victory as of midmorning on Wednesday — despite having spent years complaining about Trump doing the same in 2020.

Election Day is finally here, and one of the last outrageous comments we’ll hear from a leftist celebrity before the decision is made will not soon be forgotten as not only was it completely untrue but extremely sexist.
And it came from former Trump supporter Mark Cuban.
“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong intelligent women ever. It’s just that simple,” Cuban said in an interview on “The View.”
While Trump-supporting women were offended by the comments, the former president’s response to Cuban’s insane remarks made it all better.
“Mark Cuban, a really dumb guy, who thinks he’s ‘hot stuff’ but he’s absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don’t surround myself with strong women,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - with the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong.”
Trump went on to explain that Cuban would call him “incessantly” while he was in office to the point where he had to explain that he had "a lot of things to do" and couldn’t be "taking so many pointless calls" from the celebrity.
“In any event, that affected him greatly, because he’s a very insecure guy, and a Major LOSER, always has been and always will be! Nobody likes him, nobody respects him, and he’s unattractive both inside and out! He should go back to talk about the person he was forced to support, because I didn’t want it, Lyin’ Kamala Harris. Also, he’s got no clubhead speed,” Trump continued.
“He attacked his golf game,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” laughs. “That’s below the belt.”

Vice President Kamala Harris and businessman Mark Cuban sat down for an interview, in which they had a lot to say about former president Donald Trump.
The pair took issue with Trump’s tariff plan, with Cuban telling Kamala that Trump “doesn’t realize the impact” and that “he is going to put who knows how many small businesses out of business.”
“He is applying a machete, when a scalpel is what’s necessary,” Kamala replied.
Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” and her father, Ron Simmons, believe that Cuban and Harris are wrong and that Harris’ “economic plan,” if put into action, will have much more devastating consequences.
“Her plan, by this bipartisan group, is going to cost 786,000 jobs,” Simmons explains to Stuckey, using information from the Tax Foundation. “Trump’s plan would increase it by 600,000 jobs.”
“Mark Cuban in this scenario is just a sycophant; he just is trying to say whatever agrees with her,” Simmons says. “Believe me, Mark is more concerned, which he talks about Trump being more concerned about, his own fortune and fame than he is about anything else.”
“He also called Trump a fascist, right, and you know what a fascist is?” he asks. ‘Someone that wants state control of everything. That’s what they want, and not the individual. And actually Trump is just the opposite.”
Stuckey notes that most Americans are most concerned about how Trump’s economic policy will affect their groceries, not whether or not the left is calling him a “fascist.”
“He’s going to increase the child tax care credit, which I think is a good thing to do. And a credit is different than a deduction. A credit means that if you have a $1,000 credit, and your taxes were $2,000 before the credit, they’re only $1,000 after. It’s a direct write-off,” Simmons explains.
“He’s also proposing that we allow a deduction for interest paid on auto loans. For a lot of people, especially renters, their biggest debt is their car. And you know how much cars cost these days,” he continues.
“Under Donald Trump, I think what you see, you see a return to what happened between 2017 and 2021 from an economic standpoint, which was some of the best economic times in history,” he adds.

Just four days out from the election, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are holding dueling campaign events through crucial battleground states.
Yesterday on the trail, Trump held rallies in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Henderson, Nevada, and appeared alongside Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona. As the campaign season wraps up, Trump touched on policy priorities like immigration and the economy while also making a point to hammer his opponent and her supporters.
'Look, she's a deranged person, but the reason she couldn't stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. I don't want to go to war.'
"There are some people who thrive under pressure, and there are some people who crack under pressure," Trump said of Harris in Albuquerque. "She's a cracker."
“Are you better now than you were four years ago?" Trump asked the crowd in Henderson, to which many responded "no."
Apart from Trump's usual rally appearances, two moments stood out for the former president yesterday.
Trump's most notable comments from his Thursday campaign stops took place in Arizona at an event alongside Carlson. The former president criticized former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, for her and her father's hawkish track record on foreign policy as well as her endorsement of Harris.
"Well, I think it hurts Kamala a lot actually," Trump said of Cheney's endorsement. "Look, she's a deranged person, but the reason she couldn't stand me is that she always wanted to go to war with people. I don't want to go to war."
"She's a radical war hawk," Trump continued. "Let's put her with a rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Okay? Let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face? You know they're all war hawks when they're sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, 'Oh, gee, well, let's send, let's send, 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.'"
Trump was clearly calling out Cheney's hawkish foreign policy. It's a lot easier to hold Cheney's worldview when you're able to call the shots from a cushy federal job, but she would likely have a different opinion if she was thrown into active combat. That is obviously the comparison Trump was making, full context of the clip shows.
Like clockwork, countless headlines from the corporate and mainstream media attacked Trump for "using violent language," called his comments "firing squad threats," and insinuated that he wanted to attack Cheney.
"This is how dictators destroy free nations," Cheney said in response. "They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant."
On the note of questionable endorsements, American businessman and Harris supporter Mark Cuban criticized the women in and around the Trump camp.
"Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women, ever," Cuban told "The View" Thursday. "It's just that simple."
"Actually, he is very wrong, I surround myself with the strongest of women - With the understanding that ALL women are great, whether strong or not strong," Trump said in response to Cuban's comments. "This guy is such a fool, he’s constantly on Television being critical, and only for the reason that I tuned him out completely while President because he called incessantly."
"I may, in fact, be surrounded by the strongest women in the World, including Heads of Countries, who make Mark look like a 'baby!'" Trump continued. "All strong women, and women in general, should be very angry about this weak man’s statement."
As for Trump's running mate, JD Vance followed in the former president's footsteps and made an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. In the over three hour-long episode released Thursday, Vance came off cool, calm, collected, and importantly, likable. In between exchanges on policy, Vance let listeners in on his personal life and shared familial anecdotes with Rogan. The podcast amassed over 7.5 million views in fewer than 24 hours.
While Harris has yet to make her long-anticipated appearance on Rogan's show (an appearance which is still up in the air), she held competing rallies in Phoenix, Arizona, and Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada. Harris racked up another celebrity endorsement from Jennifer Lopez in Vegas and was briefly interrupted by protesters in Phoenix and again in Reno.
Harris stuck to her usual talking points, emphasizing the importance of women's "choices," a euphemism for abortion, and boasting about "fighting for democracy."
The two candidates are now headed to the Rust Belt. Harris is traveling from Vegas to Wisconsin, where she is scheduled to hold events in Janesville and in Little Chute. Afterward, Harris will be hopping over to hold a concert rally in West Allis alongside rappers Cardi B, Glorilla, and Flo Milli, to name a few.
Trump is making stops to hold rallies in Warren, Michigan, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Harris campaign surrogate and billionaire businessman Mark Cuban on Thursday said former president Donald Trump does not surround himself with "strong, intelligent women" because he's "intimidated" by them.
The post WATCH: Billionaire Harris Surrogate Mark Cuban Says Trump Doesn't Surround Himself With 'Strong, Intelligent Women' appeared first on .
Gone are the days when blue cities volunteer to be sanctuaries for immigrants. Gone are the days of Kamala Harris saying she wants to decriminalize illegal border crossings (although she probably still believes in it).
At this point, everyone is in agreement that the open border is one of America’s most glaring problems.
Even DEI-loving, unigender-dressing Mark Cuban thinks the border under the Biden-Harris administration has been problematic, but his reasoning for why it got that way is where Cuban, once again, becomes a laughingstock.
Dave Rubin plays the clip of Cuban telling CNN’s Erin Burnett why border crossing got out of hand under the Biden administration and why Kamala will be better for the border than Donald Trump.
“So when it comes to criminalizing and not criminalizing crossing the border, I mean, that is just so stark, but you view that as an evolution?” said Burnett.
“Here’s my opinion … I thought their hearts were too big when Joe came into office,” Cuban began. “They didn't know how many people would cross the border, and it got away from them, but they figured it out; they learned.”
“[Biden] put together an executive order and now the number of border crossings is down to where they were in the Trump [administration], maybe a little lower. [Harris] says she's going to sign the border bill, which is very clear where she stands now,” he continued.
Already, his answer is absurd. But then, as is the norm with Democrats, he pointed the finger at Donald Trump.
“But let me tell you the most important thing that has not been discussed – Donald Trump and Kamala both have said when it comes to illegals that are in the country that have violated the law, that are criminals, they're going to deport them. Donald Trump hasn't said what he's going to do to deport anybody else,” said Cuban.
Dave points out that Cuban’s answer is the perfect example of “the modern liberal mind.”
Co-host Elizabeth Pipko adds, “To reach [Cuban’s] success level you have to be smart, so he probably knows as well as I do that no politician on that level suffers from a heart that's just too darn big. That just doesn’t happen.”

We all know what it is. We all have our favorite examples. Perhaps, like many, yours is Bruce Springsteen, whose new look is giving off Tilda Swinton trapped in a tanning bed.
It’s the unigender uniparty. It’s about much more than the occasional lesbian-style jokes aimed at aging celebrity men. It’s about the strange way our high-profile elites seem to be converging on a neutral (neuter?) public image — one that seems to convey through specific common cues that they are on their way toward transcending secondary and perhaps even primary sex differences.
Cuban is on the fast track to laughingstock status. But if he cracks and slaps back, he’ll have to choose between chaining himself even more tightly to his fellow unitards or somehow distancing himself from the team — always a dangerous decision in our digitally tribalized age.
And as the internet discovered this week, it has claimed Mark Cuban as its latest victim.
No longer the Wall Street-presenting alpha Chad familiar from "Shark Tank," Cuban has self-adjusted in keeping with his emergence as a top spokesbeing of the “progressive” upper management class — adopting, whether consciously or somehow otherwise, the smooth, animatronic presentation of the Masters of the Ellenverse.
But it’s the glasses that complete the picture and the glasses that have launched a million memes. Searching Cuban glasses on X returns an infinite scroll of references, who-wore-it-betters, and general japes — a chorus of mockery that, as of this writing, Cuban has declined to respond to, although it beggars belief that he hasn’t caught wind of the trend.
Taking advantage of the uncanny mutation, Elon Musk himself took a swing amid his MAGA road campaign. “Mark Cuban and Rachel Maddow are the same person,” he joked, reposting the visual evidence. “Don’t believe conspiracy theorists who claim otherwise!”
Cuban is on the fast track to laughingstock status. But if he cracks and slaps back, he’ll have to choose between chaining himself even more tightly to his fellow unitards or somehow distancing himself from the team — always a dangerous decision in our digitally tribalized age.
You’re in or you’re out — that seems to be the reality in the unigender uniparty, which won’t settle any more for mere ideological uniformity. Thou must be remade in its image to earn thy spot on the screen and stage. Surely, the final step into full posthumanity is just a reveal away. The choice is yours, Cuban. You must respond. Doth thy soul belong to the bespectacled Borg? Or dare you disavow?
