Business titan Mark Cuban engaged in a fiery showdown with one of Donald Trump’s staunchest media defenders on Friday.
The confrontation ignited when Cuban sharply criticized fellow billionaire Elon Musk and other business leaders for backing Trump’s political agenda. This sparked the ire of Fox News weekend host Mark Levin, a prominent MAGA figure in Trump’s media circle who lambasted Cuban on social media, branding him an “overrated a–hole” who should relocate to California from Texas.
Levin, frequently touted by Trump on “Truth Social,” his social media platform, didn’t hold back, openly challenging Cuban to a debate on his show while accusing him of harboring envy towards Musk.
“Mark Cuban is an overrated as*hole who lucked out early in his business career,” Levin wrote. Why doesn’t he move to California from Texas? You’re welcome to come on my show to debate anytime, tough guy. But your obsessive jealousy of Elon Musk is obvious.”
But Cuban didn’t shy away. Instead of backing down, he threw back a jab of his own, suggesting Levin expand his intellectual horizons with some conservative reading material, recommending Ayn Rand’s “The Virtue of Selfishness.”
The clash between Cuban and Levin highlights the deepening divide within American media and business circles, as tensions flare over the legacy of the Trump presidency and its destructive impact on public discourse.
Hey tough guy lol. You should read some Ayn Rand. Here is a starter book for you to try https://t.co/F9oZzs5z8V
