Elon Musk criticized Mark Cuban for his continued support of President Joe Biden. Cuban declared that he would vote for Biden even if the world faced a thousand years of darkness. Musk, who previously voted for Biden but has been critical of his leadership, took offense to Cuban's statement. This is not the first time the two billionaires have clashed, as they previously argued over the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in corporations. Musk has also been involved in disputes with other business rivals, including Google and OpenAI. Neither Musk nor Cuban has commented on the recent exchange.

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban enjoys engaging with Elon Musk on Twitter, even if their discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) aren't always productive. Cuban admits that Musk often responds with snarky comments instead of engaging in meaningful conversation. The two billionaires frequently clash over DEI initiatives, with Musk expressing opposition and Cuban voicing his disagreement. Cuban feels a responsibility to challenge Musk's views on social media platforms but respects Musk's right to run his platform as he pleases. Cuban also suggests that the focus should shift towards addressing the lack of accountability for online misinformation and groupthink. Despite their disagreements, Cuban sees his interactions with Musk more as fun than a serious "beef."

Tesla founder Elon Musk and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban recently engaged in a heated exchange on social media over Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in American corporations. Musk criticized DEI, calling it "literally the definition of racism," while Cuban argued that it is important to include people from various races, ethnicities, and orientations to improve hiring practices. The clash was sparked by an essay by Bill Ackman opposing DEI. Critics argue that DEI can potentially prioritize diversity over merit or credentials.

Elon Musk continues to question whether non-white male pilots are receiving preferential treatment, citing social media replies to support his claim. In an interview with Don Lemon, Musk defended his posts about airline pilots, stating that while he does not believe non-white or non-male pilots are inherently unqualified, he believes standards should not be lowered. Lemon argued that there is no evidence of lowered standards in the industry, but Musk insisted that replies on social media offer significant cases where standards were compromised. This echoes sentiments shared by others, including Tucker Carlson. Fellow billionaire Mark Cuban has criticized Musk's stance on diversity, but Musk dismissed his comments, calling him a racist.
