Mark Cuban, a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris during the 2024 election, has begun deleting tweets backing the vice president after her resounding loss to President Donald Trump. The billionaire businessman’s actions have sparked backlash, with critics accusing him of trying to rewrite his public record.
Cuban defended the deletions by claiming he routinely removes old tweets, but the timing — mere days after the election — has raised questions. Critics argue that Cuban’s decision is more about avoiding accountability for his role as a high-profile Harris supporter.

During the campaign, Cuban frequently defended Harris, but his comments often drew ridicule. Critics accused him of making inconsistent and outlandish statements that only added to the perception of Harris as an unviable candidate.
Too late @mcuban we will never “unsee” it….We know who you are. Because you told us. https://t.co/lmUcyDuHmn

All respect lost for Mark Cuban.
He's deleting his tweets to avoid being on the wrong side of history.
Never forget, Mark Cuban was pro-Kamala, pro-wokeism, and pro-demagoguery. @mcuban. pic.twitter.com/hjAXdQdzzt

Libs of TikTok, which first flagged Cuban’s tweet deletions, called the move an attempt to “erase his humiliation.” Cuban’s explanation, which referenced reducing digital “clutter,” has been widely dismissed as a poor excuse.
Cuban’s actions highlight the risks of political endorsements for high-profile figures. Critics argue that his willingness to delete his tweets undermines his credibility and casts doubt on his convictions.
As the post-election narrative unfolds, Cuban’s attempt to erase his support for Harris is unlikely to shield him from criticism. His credibility, already damaged by the election, remains in question.
