“Congratulations @realDonaldTrump. You won fair and square. Congratulations to @elonmusk as well. #Godspeed,” the “Shark Tank” judge wrote on Wednesday.
Mr. Cuban, who has been known to trip up Mr. Harris on the campaign trail, came under heavy criticism for insisting on the 47 people currently elected.th President doesn't surround himself with 'strong, intelligent women' while appearing on TV shows ABC's “The View” last week.

And you know, Nikki Haley, his nonsense about reproductive rights, They'll call him out on how he views women, how he treats them, how he talks about them. I mean, he can't have her around.

“This is what I said in a conversation about why Nikki Haley is not active on the campaign trail,” Cuban wrote on Thursday. “I know that many strong, intelligent women, including some of my relatives, voted for Trump. I am in no way saying that women voters are not smart, strong, or intelligent. Not.”
“I know he's worked with a lot of strong, intelligent women, like Elaine Chao, Kelly Anne, Ivanka,” Cuban added. “I stand by my opinion that he doesn't like to be challenged in public.”
