Mark Cuban responds to Elon Musk’s ‘lesbian’ diss

Mark Cuban criticized Elon Musk for his support of Donald Trump and responded to Musk’s ‘lesbian’ insult.

Billionaire Mark Cuban fired back at Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO made comments referring to him as looking like a “lesbian.”

In a recent interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Cuban voiced concerns about Trump potentially "targeting" business leaders who don't support him, suggesting they fear his "retribution or vengeance."

🚨Rachel Maddow and Mark Cuban warn that Trump will “target” business leaders that don't support him — that they worry "about his retribution or his vengeance."

That sounds an awful lot like what’s happening right now with the targeting of @elonmusk and his companies.

Musk responded by mocking Cuban and Maddow, suggesting they resembled “a lesbian couple from Portland.”

They remind me of a lesbian couple from Portland

Cuban quickly replied on X, writing, “You can't stop thinking about me @elonmusk Can you? It’s ok. I understand.” He also criticized Musk’s $75 million donation to a super PAC backing Trump, implying that Musk was trying to distract from Trump’s incompetence.

You can't stop thinking about me @elonmusk Can you ? It's ok. I understand.
If I supported a candidate that was so incompetent I had to take over and fund their ground game, I would be looking for a distraction too. https://t.co/2xkjac6fTB

Musk, who acquired X (formerly Twitter) for $44 billion in October 2022, has been a vocal supporter of Trump. In turn, Trump has praised Musk at rallies and promised to appoint him to lead a government efficiency committee if re-elected.

Cuban, a longtime critic of Trump, recently hinted at his potential interest in purchasing X during an interview with Wired, though he has not made any formal moves to pursue the acquisition.
