Mark Cuban warned Elon Musk about Donald Trump’s sense of loyalty following the Tesla CEO’s statement that this could be America’s “last election” if Trump loses.
Billionaires are fighting over Musk’s support for former President Donald Trump, as the former Dallas Mavericks owner endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Musk drew Cuban’s ire on Sunday by making a crude statement in X about the Democrats’ conspiracy to manipulate the electorate. The founder of Tesla insisted that democracy is in danger; and only Trump can save us.
“Very few Americans realize that if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election,” he wrote. ‘Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!’
Cuban has known Trump for decades and warned Musk, one of the former president’s biggest financial backers, about his true sense of loyalty.

‘Elon, there will come a time when you will need something from Donald Trump. You will think you have earned the right to ask and receive,’ Cuban wrote.
You have been a loyal and faithful soldier to him. He has supported him politically with tens of millions of dollars. Then, in the moment when you need it most, you will discover what many before you have learned: your loyalty is only to yourself.’
The Shark Tank star has said he would be willing to do “anything I can” to get Harris across the finish line in his home state of Pennsylvania.
Musk had delivered a lengthy rant about an imminent Democratic plot to change the electorate if the party retained the White House in November.
He said Democrats will import millions of voters through illegal immigration over the next four years, rapidly moving them closer to citizenship and pushing the margins of swing states into the blue column.
“The United States then becomes a one-party state and democracy ends. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. “This already happened in California many years ago, after the 1986 amnesty,” he wrote.
‘The only thing keeping California from moving closer to extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in the United States. “Once the entire country is controlled by a single party, there will be no escape,” Musk continued.
“The entire United States will be like the nightmare of downtown San Francisco.”
Musk provided no evidence to support his elaborate theory that was spread to millions of people on the social media platform he owns.
Cuban cited Musk’s post and warned one of the former president’s biggest supporters about who he thinks Trump is.
As a surrogate for the Harris campaign, Cuban has been trying to insist that it is Harris, and not Trump, who has a plan to continue improving the economy four years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“When you talk to their staff about making a policy, they literally dig deep and try to understand it,” Cuban said. “And when you do that, like in a real business, you’re not going to just be impetuous with everything you’re going to say.”
‘That’s the difference between the two. “Trump will just say whatever he thinks he needs to say,” the Shark Tank star said.
Cuban, who has feuded with Trump since he ran in 2016, said Wednesday that he believes Trump’s lead on the economy is “diminishing.”
“I mean people are realizing that having a well-thought-out plan is a lot better than someone just talking bluntly,” he told DailyMail.com.
Musk has suggested he will step forward if Trump appoints him to a White House position.
Trump said that if elected president in November, he would be willing to appoint Tesla’s CEO to a cabinet or advisory position.
‘He’s a very intelligent guy. I certainly would, if he did it, I certainly would. “He’s a brilliant guy,” Trump said in an interview with Reuters.

Musk responded today to comments about X with just five words: “I am willing to serve.”
Musk, the world’s richest man, has supported Trump in X and dismissed left-wing ideas as a “woke mind virus.”
Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020, but has since veered to the right.
Musk said he believed he and the Republican Party were more closely aligned on their “core values” than he and the Democrats.
“One of those values is meritocracy, as much meritocracy as possible, so that you get ahead based on your ability and nothing else,” he said.
Musk has also aligned himself more with the Republican Party on social issues after revealing that he claimed to have been “tricked” by the “woke mind virus” into allowing one of his children to become a transgender woman.
He said the PAC supported freedom from “as much government intervention as possible” and claimed the state was becoming more restrictive each year.
