Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban is facing calls from his own former employees to flee the Texas city following recent controversy. The NBA organization recently descended into a meltdown when the team traded away its biggest star, Luka Doncic, to the Los Angeles Lakers. And despite selling his majority stake in the Mavericks in 2023, Cuban, who has been outspoken critic of Donald Trump's agenda in Washington DC, has found himself in the firing line. Last week, a former Mavericks event manager, Gavin Mulloy, took aim at the billionaire on Facebook, claiming that he 'should be run out of...

Mark Cuban has been brutally honest about his displeasure with the Dallas Mavericks since he sold his majority share to the Adelson family in December 2023. He thought he would still be in charge of basketball operations, but it wasn't allowed to be in the contract when he sold the team, and the Adelsons decided to hand the reins to Nico Harrison. Cuban voiced his frustrations in a recent Facebook comment about his role with the team, but he also revealed that owning the Mavericks wasn't exactly a fruitful endeavor. "You didn't say a word when [your bonus] showed up...

Mark Cuban is probably best known as that billionaire on Shark Tank. But did you also know he’s quickly becoming the worst poster on Bluesky? It’s true. Cuban shared an AI-generated video on Friday that may rank as the single worst piece of media ever created for an emerging social media platform. And that’s obviously an extremely high bar. What did Cuban share? Well, it’s kind of hard to explain. Imagine the kind of political video that makes absolutely nobody happy and manages to piss off anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Imagine the kind of video that...

Mark Cuban warned the federal government's abrupt and deep cuts are having spillover effects across the economy, eventually leading to a downturn. The latest jobs report showed solid gains, but it pointed to early effects of DOGE cuts and didn't capture the wave of layoffs that have come more recently. Meanwhile, Wall Street is pricing in greater odds of a recession.

Elon Musk knows rockets, AI, and electric cars, but does he understand healthcare? Mark Cuban seems to think he doesn't. When Musk posted on X in December questioning why Americans pay so much for healthcare without seeing real value, he echoed a frustration shared by millions. Citing the fact that the U.S. has the highest healthcare administrative costs among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, an account called The Rabbit Hole pointed out the disparity. Musk responded bluntly: "Shouldn't the American people be getting their money's worth.... Cuban laid out seven ways those contracts are keeping drug prices high...

Remember how billionaire Mark Cuban humiliated himself last year by endorsing Kamala Harris and defending her socialist price-gouging proposals? Good times, right? Although he was allegedly planning to step away from politics after the election, he’s back to his old anti-Trump ways, and he really stepped in it again. In recent weeks, Cuban has expressed concerns regarding DOGE's transparency, challenging Elon Musk to do something about it. Cuban isn’t exactly saying anything the radical left hasn’t already said, and of course, the various legal challenges against DOGE have accused Musk of, among other things, not meeting federal transparency regulations. While...

Mark Cuban, once the unquestioned face of major Mavericks moves, did not have a hand in the team trading superstar Luka Doncic early Sunday morning. Cuban told WFAA in Dallas that he was not involved with the massive three-team trade that sent Doncic to the Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Mavericks. Although he remains a minority owner of the team, Cuban has stepped back from day-to-day basketball operations since the Adelson family acquired majority control in late 2023.

Controversial billionaire Mark Cuban has floated the idea of running for president with Charles Barkley after insisting the NBA legend is 'somebody America needs'. Cuban, who was a surrogate for Kamala Harris before the Democratic nominee lost this month's election, has been tipped to make a run for the White House in previous election cycles but is yet to throw his name into the hat. During an appearance on The Steam Room podcast with Barkley and host Ernie Johnson, the minority Dallas Mavericks owner was asked about the tribalism in American politics and how the country can begin to have...

Billionaire leftist and former Shark Tank star Mark Cuban has deleted his pro-Kamala Harris tweets in the aftermath of her epic election defeat by Donald Trump. The billionaire, who infamously slurred conservative women as weak just days before the election, claims “I’ve always gone back and deleted tweets.” The Wrap reports that popular X/Twitter account Libs of TikTok has revealed billionaire Kamala Harris supporter Mark Cuban has deleted his numerous pro-Harris tweets following her massive failure on Election Day. However, Cuban has swiftly denied these allegations, claiming that he routinely deletes old tweets as a longstanding practice. In response to...

SNIP “Congrats @realDonaldTrump. You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well. #Godspeed,” the “Shark Tank” judge wrote Wednesday. Cuban had been out stumping for Harris on the trail, but got backlash after claiming Trump does not surround himself with “strong, intelligent women” while appearing on ABC’s “The View” on Thursday.

Investor Mark Cuban congratulated former President Trump early Wednesday morning, stating he won “fair and square” just moments after Decision Desk HQ projected the former president as the winner of the general election early Wednesday morning. “Congrats @realDonaldTrump You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well. #Godspeed,” Cuban wrote on X.

Donald Trump started to bounce back in the betting markets after a stunning poll led to his election odds plummeting. A Des Moines Register poll, released on Saturday night, sent shockwaves through the markets after it showed Trump losing the red state of Iowa to Kamala Harris. It triggered a flood of wagers on Harris to win the U.S. election, and Trump's odds tanked on an array of betting and prediction markets - including Kalshi, Polymarket and Predictit. Harris even overtook Trump as the favorite for the White House on Kalshi. However, on Sunday, markets appeared to be correcting slightly...

Kamala Harris has a new 'serious problem' on her hands with just two days to the presidential election. Female voters on both sides of the aisle were turned off by misogynistic comments made by top Harris campaign surrogate Mark Cuban last week saying Donald Trump does not surround himself with 'intelligent women.' And an 'insulting' new Harris-Walz ad suggesting women should 'lie to their husbands' about how they vote isn't helping the Democratic nominee either.

Billionaire Kamala Harris surrogate Mark Cuban knew he’d made a major unforced error with his Thursday remarks insulting Republican women on “The View” — he came well prepared to an interview with a conservative female host soon after, The Post can exclusively reveal. “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban declared days before the election on the ABC gabfest promoting Harris for president. Georgia radio host Martha Zoller had a unique opportunity to confront him, having scheduled an interview tied to a roundtable he was holding in the Peach State. The Talkers Magazine 2023 Woman...

MARK DAVIS is one of the most successful radio talk show hosts in America. More than 40 years of hosting, the majority in his native Texas, has established him as a foremost conservative voice both locally and nationally.

Billionaire Mark Cuban half-heartedly apologized on Friday to those who “felt slighted” at him suggesting women around former President Donald Trump are weak and dumb, saying he has “no excuses” — while trying to offer a bunch. Cuban, a top campaign surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, attempted to walk back his remarks a day after sparking widespread fury for emphatically declaring on ABC’s “The View” that Trump is “never” around any “strong and intelligent women.” “When I said this during the interview, I didn’t get it out exactly the way I thought I did. So I apologize to anyone...

Daniel Alman from Squirrel Hill @DanielAlmanPGH According to #MarkCuban, #DonaldTrump's debate opponent, #KamalaHarris, is not a "strong, intelligent woman." 7:35 AM · Nov 1, 2024

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban claimed Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that you never see former President Donald Trump around “strong, intelligent women.” Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked, “Well Mark let me ask you because you were a Nikki Haley supporter like I was in the primary but now you’re supporting Kamala Harris. It turns out Donald Trump is not even asking Nikki Haley for her help to try to reach her voters. What do you make of that, and do you think having people like Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and other Republicans with Kamala Harris is going to put her...

Billionaire elitist Mark Cuban accomplished something amazing today. He lit a fire that appears to be having the most dramatic possible influence on an election that a private citizen could ever have. He went on “The View” and said, “Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women, ever.” The response from a multitude of strong, intelligent Trump supporters on 𝕏 was nothing short of seismic. It’s doing nuclear damage to the Kamala Harris campaign, arguably more so than Joe Biden’s “garbage” comment. He is being called ignorant, misogynistic, and unintelligent. In some cases, he’s being called much worse....
