Billionaire Mark Cuban seems to like saying things that draw attention to himself, and he managed to do just that when claiming he’d vote for 81-year-old President Joe Biden over Donald Trump in even the worst of circumstances.
The minority owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks told Bloomberg News during a visit to the White House that he would choose Biden on his deathbed in a matchup against Trump.
“If they were having his last wake, and it was him versus Trump, and he was being given last rites, I would still vote for Joe Biden,” Cuban said.

Fittingly, Cuban added that he recently voted for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the Texas Republican primary, calling it a “protest vote against Trump.”
The Shark Tank star was at the White House participating in a roundtable on drug prices — as the co-founder of the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co., Cuban urged Biden to go further to rein in prescription drug costs, according to Bloomberg.
Fellow billionaire Elon Musk responded to Cuban’s plug for Biden with his trademark sense of humor, tweeting: “‘If Biden were a flesh-eating zombie with 5 seconds to live where, upon being re-elected, Earth would plunge into a 1000 years of darkness, I would still vote for him.’ – Mark Cuban.”

Above embarrassment, Cuban responded, “[M]y limit is 300 years of darkness.”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story from X, including a tweet pointing out that Cuban likes Biden because he too supports racist DEI policies:

Mark Cuban endorses Biden cause Biden endorses Woke DEI Policies that Cuban loves to use…
But you know what DEI is?
It’s a racist terminology that allows racists to be racists without them believe that they’re being racist when In fact if you criticise them they tell you that…— Mickamious (@MickamiousG) March 5, 2024
