Mark Cuban Dishes On Feud With ‘Thin-Skinned’ Elon Musk: ‘How Can You Not F*ck With Him?’
Mark Cuban told comedian Theo Von he can’t help but taunt Elon Musk because the man is so “thin-skinned.”
Cuban appeared on Von’s This Past Weekend in an episode published on Wednesday and was asked about his public “feud” with Musk.
“It almost seems romantic a little bit,” Von joked.
“I just like to fuck with him,” Cuban said.
The Shark Tank billionaire and former Mavericks owner once called Musk the “entrepeneur of our generation” and said his criticism is not personal.
“I don’t dislike Elon, but he says some stupid shit and it’s just, like, I have no problem calling him out. And he’s thin-skinned,” he said.
Cuban then told Von about once having a positive relationship with Musk, texting him about his kids and Mars until one day Cuban said something about Tesla and Musk texted back an article where Cuban had been critical of Musk’s company. Musk wrote only “fuck you” to Cuban.
“He’s called me racist, he’s called me poop emoji multiple times, he’s called me all these names and so that to me just gives me license to fuck with him even more. I don’t care if he calls me names. I don’t give a shit what he thinks, but it’s still fun to hit him with the lols or whatever,” Cuban said.
In an August post on X, Musk used a poop emoji to describe Cuban and Cuban replied with emojis of hands making hearts.
Musk’s message was in reply to Cuban appearing on The Daily Show and accusing Musk of making X’s algorithms push content more favorable to his views and politics on the right.
“I have total respect for him as an entrepreneur, but his skin is so thin, how can you not fuck with him?” Cuban said.
