Billionaire investor Mark Cuban said Monday that Vice President Harris' campaign has refused a live interview on social platform X with the platform's owner, billionaire Elon Musk.
Cuban, who is campaigning as a vice presidential candidate, said in an interview on CNBC's “Squawk Box” that he has told the Harris campaign to facilitate a meeting with Musk.
But they “didn't believe that,” he said. [Musk] They won't mention X and will just say something that distorts the purpose of the meeting. ”
Musk responded to Cuban's comments in a post on X, saying, “I would be happy to have a live discussion, so any 'distortion' is not an option.”
“That would be very cool,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO added. “Please, why don't you try it? Pretty please.”
Mr. Cuban later clarified the “distortion” comment, saying it was “a poor choice of words on my part” and suggesting that “disclosure” would have been a better choice. He also asked Musk if he would like to meet Harris personally if she wins the election.
During an interview with CNBC, Cuban was asked if he thought there would be a chance of a relationship with Musk if Harris were to become president, and he answered, “100 percent yes.”
“I've had conversations like that,” he said.
Musk has endorsed former President Trump, spending $75 million on a pro-Trump super PAC he founded earlier this year, and using his massive platform on X to support the former president and his views.
The billionaire tech mogul is focusing on Pennsylvania in the final weeks leading up to the election, holding a series of events in the battleground state over the weekend and petitioning for a super PAC in support of his primary party. He wrote several $1 million checks to Pennsylvania voters who signed the letter. and the second amendment.
