Mark Cuban, a Harris campaign representative and “Shark Tank” investor, mocked social media for promoting former President Trump to young male voters.
On Thursday, shortly after speaking at Harris' rally in Wisconsin, Cuban spoke to MSNBC's Nicole Wallace about Vice President Kamala Harris and the current state of Trump's campaign.
“We spend a lot of time in what Sarah Longwell calls the 'manosphere,'” Wallace observed. “What you're doing to men who are dissatisfied with politics and don't consider themselves traditional Democrats or Republicans, but think there's something for them in Donald Trump. Let's take a look at the sales pitch.
Cuban responded by mocking how many men are attracted to Trump not through his presidential platform but through the masculinity of his style.
“Shark Tank” investor Mark Cuban derided young male voters as being swayed by former President Donald Trump's “gangsta” appeal.
President Trump mocks Biden's beach nap: “Someone made me think Biden looked good in a swimsuit.''
“Yeah, I mean, I've talked to people who say they like Trump because he's 'gangsta.' Not gangster, 'gangsta,'” he said. “So you're voting for him?”
Cuban said the world is different than it was eight or even four years ago, saying, “We're really dependent on social media. I have three kids, ages 15, 18, and 21. “But it's just a situation.” The scroll, the scroll, the scroll. ”
He said the process is a pipeline for men to consume “offensive” Trump content.
“Especially for men, you start with soccer, go to another sport, meet a woman, and all of a sudden you start seeing aggressive things. It could be Andrew Tate, it could be anyone. It could be Donald “It leads to getting content for Trump, especially memes,” he said. “You can't expect people to see these memes repeated hundreds of times a day and suddenly start reading them to find out if they're true or if the information is accurate.”

Emphasizing his point, he said, “It's a non-stop repetition, and that influences their decision-making. So the campaigns, and we've been talking about it, come up with these algorithms. We have to reverse engineer and find countermeasures.”
“One of the providers of those algorithms is Elon Musk, the owner of X,” Wallace noted, recalling that Cuban sparred with him online.
“I think he's one of the greatest entrepreneurs ever. He's a great engineer, but he's also the biggest troll in the world,” Cuban said.
Mr. Cuban's Wisconsin campaign appearance on Thursday came as Mr. Musk has stumbled in supporting Mr. Trump in Pennsylvania.
