Billionaire supporter Kamala Harris and longtime cryptocurrency investor Mark Cuban says he would buy social media platform X from Tesla founder Elon Musk if he could.
According to an interview with Wired, when journalist Lauren Goode asked him if he would consider buying the Musk-led social media company “in an ideal world,” Cuban answered in the affirmative.
“I wish I could,” Cuban said. “There’s no reason for him to sell it.”
Calling the platform a “very strong right-wing community,” the former “Shark Tank” star has been very outspoken on X, often supporting Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Cuban, perhaps best known for his prescription drug cost-cutting service Cost Plus Drugs, even called Harris a “pro-business” candidate. In July, the outspoken investor in digital assets told Politico that Harris could be “more open” to digital assets.
“The feedback I’m getting, but certainly not confirmed by the vice president, is that she will be much more open to business (artificial intelligence), cryptocurrencies and government as a service,” Cuban said. “The change in policy changes the message and lets everyone know that she is responsible and open, literally, to business.”
The race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is gaining momentum
The former chief prosecutor has not commented on her overall policy stance on digital assets, raising concerns among members of the cryptocurrency community. Meanwhile, Republican candidate Donald Trump appears to have strengthened his ties to the blockchain sector as a whole during the election campaign.
Just this week, the Republican candidate and his family launched their cutting-edge cryptocurrency platform, World Liberty Financial (WLF). During the WLF announcement , Trump warned that U.S. cryptocurrency entrepreneurs will “live in hell” if he loses in the November election.
However, as Harris continues to hold a slight lead over the Republican candidate in national polls, the question remains as to who will take the Oval Office.
