Mark Cuban has announced a temporary retreat from the political area. On Tuesday, the Democrat billionaire shared on the social media platform Bluesky—a refuge for many leftists rage quitting X (formerly Twitter) following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s election victory—that he plans to step back from politics for the foreseeable future.
“Just an FYI. Don’t expect any politics or speculation about what might happen for a while. I’m sure there will be plenty to comment on when the time comes,” he wrote.
Cuban, a staunch supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris during the campaign, had criticized Donald Trump, labeling him a “threat” with “fascist tendencies.” However, he acknowledges Trump had won “fair and square,” and congratulated X owner Elon Musk, a notable Trump supporter, for influencing the election outcome.
Cuban may have contributed to Trump’s election win himself, angering many conservative women and their friends and relatives by suggesting that Trump only has stupid, weak women in his orbit while acting as a Harris surrogate.
In a post-election Bluesky post seemingly aimed at X, Cuban wrote “Hello Less Hateful World,” highlighting his preference for the alternative platform’s more censorious atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Cuban has been frantically removing pro-Harris posts on his X account, claiming he routinely deletes old posts.
