Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban has been deleting tweets supporting Kamala Harris following her crushing defeat in the 2024 presidential election. The timing of the deletions — just days after the election — has drawn criticism, with many accusing Cuban of trying to erase his public mistakes.
Cuban claims he routinely deletes old tweets, but the explanation has failed to convince his critics. “Why delete them now if you stand by them?” one commenter asked, calling the move an obvious attempt to avoid scrutiny.

During the campaign, Cuban was a high-profile Harris supporter, defending her policies even as they faced widespread criticism. His statements often backfired, fueling accusations that he was out of touch with voters and lacked credibility.
Libs of TikTok, which first noticed the deletions, called out Cuban for trying to “memory-hole” his embarrassing campaign moments. Cuban’s explanation about reducing “clutter” was ridiculed as nonsensical in the age of unlimited digital storage.
Too late @mcuban we will never “unsee” it….We know who you are. Because you told us. https://t.co/lmUcyDuHmn

Harris’ campaign, coupled with Cuban’s attempts to rewrite his involvement, has become a case study in political miscalculation. Critics argue that Cuban’s actions only highlight his lack of conviction and inability to weather criticism.
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

As President Donald Trump begins his second term, Cuban’s role in the 2024 election may serve as a cautionary tale for public figures looking to wade into divisive political waters.
