Cuban, an entrepreneur and the co-founder of the Dallas Mavericks, did not hold backin expressinghis disapproval of Musk’s endorsement. He shared the post which read, “Delete your account,” directed at the X owner.
The feudbetween Cuban and Musk is not new.
Ongoing feud between Cuban and Musk
Earlier, Cuban accused Musk of manipulating the public platform algorithm to generate favourable outcomes.
Dallas Mavericks co-founder even questioned the free speech agenda: “I know everyone thinks this platform is a bastion of free speech. I see the opposite”.
“It’s only as free as Elon wants it to be. He can intimidate. He can alter the algorithm. He can suspend anyone he wants at any time. He is the ultimate arbiter of everything on here.”
“And the biggest power play is him making everyone think their speech is free speech until he decides it isn’t, and there is nothing any of us can do about it,” Cubanfurther added.
In response to the allegation, Musk said "Unlike the other platforms, our algorithm is open source! And if you interact and argue with 'right wing' accounts, which Cuban does a lot, the algorithm will assume that's what you want to do and give you more of it lmao."
