Mark Cuban Called Out By Critics For Deleting Harris Tweets
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has been erasing tweets supporting Kamala Harris, just days after the vice president’s crushing defeat in the 2024 presidential election. The move has sparked backlash, with many accusing Cuban of trying to avoid accountability for his vocal support of a campaign widely regarded as disastrous.
Cuban claimed he routinely deletes old tweets, but critics have called the timing suspicious. “Deleting them immediately after the election looks like an attempt to rewrite history,” one observer said. His defense that the tweets are still accessible through archives has done little to quell criticism.

During the campaign, Cuban was a prominent Harris supporter, frequently defending her policies despite acknowledging their flaws. His statements often drew ridicule, with some critics saying they did more harm than good for Harris’ already struggling campaign.
Too late @mcuban we will never “unsee” it….We know who you are. Because you told us. https://t.co/lmUcyDuHmn

Libs of TikTok, which first noticed the deletions, questioned Cuban’s motives. “If your endorsements were genuine, why try to erase them?” the account posted. Cuban’s explanation about keeping his timeline “clean” was dismissed by many as disingenuous.
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

The deletions come amid broader scrutiny of Harris’ campaign and its supporters. Cuban’s attempt to downplay his role has only added to the narrative of public figures backtracking after a political miscalculation.
Cuban’s actions highlight the challenges of political endorsements in an era of heightened accountability. As critics continue to pile on, his reputation may take time to recover.
