Cuban clashed with Mark Levin as part of an ongoing debate about prominent business figures endorsing Donald Trump.
Business tycoon Mark Cuban has hit back at a Fox News host who branded him « an overrated a****** » in an ongoing row over prominent business figures endorsing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Cuban made the comment on X in response to a post on Friday from Mark Levin, a conservative political activist and host of Life, Liberty & Levin on Fox News, who claimed he had an « obsessive jealousy of Elon Musk. »
On July 13 Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO and X owner, endorsed Trump within hours of the former president narrowly surviving an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. A gunman, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire at the rally leaving Trump bleeding from one ear and killing an attendee. Crooks was later killed by return fire from security forces.
Musk shared a video of Trump defiantly raising his clenched fist whilst being shielded by Secret Service agents following the shooting, adding: « I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery. » The clip received over 417,000 reposts and was viewed more than 216 million times.
