After President Donald Trump’s historic presidential election victory last week, leftist billionaire Mark Cuban has deleted his social media posts that promoted failed Democrat candidate Kamala Harris’s campaign.
Cuban was immediately met with a backlash over allegations he scrubbed the posts following Harris’s humiliating defeat.
Users on X appeared to catch Cuban deleting posts promoting Harris’s White House bid.

The popular X account Libs on TikTok drew widespread attention to Cuban’s post deletion.
Cuban, a minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, issued a response to Libs on TikTok on X.
“I’ve always gone back and deleted tweets,” he claimed.
“For years. Same with 2020 election. 2016 election.
“Same with other stuff,” he wrote.
“You can use the wayback machine if you really want to see them.”

Cuban also pointed to an app he helped develop to delete posts but closed in 2021.
The billionaire businessman came out on the attack against Trump in the final days of the campaign.
However, his comments did more harm than good for the Democrats’ messaging.
During an appearance on “The View,” Cuban falsely claimed that Trump is “never seen around strong, intelligent women ever.”
He was met with an immediate and brutal backlash over the remarks.
Cuban was later forced to admit to making a mistake with those comments.
It came on the heels of President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage.”
As Trump won the election, Cuban fired off a congratulatory post on X to the president-elect.
In a post on X shortly after Pennsylvania was called in the Republican nominee’s favor, leaving little path to victory for Harris, Cuban said:
“Congrats @realDonald Trump.
“You won fair and square.”
“Congrats to @ElonMusk as well. #Godspeed,” Cuban added to fellow billionaire Elon Musk.
Cuban has also said he would be willing to help Trump if Harris did not win.
“If Trump wins, last time when he won, he asked me to help on health care, on PPE [personal protective equipment], I sat with [ex-White House aide] Peter Navarro and helped him come up with a mask company and helped them grow,” Cuban said on CNBC.
“That was all domestic production.
“I’ll do the same thing.
“I’m America first.”
