Mark Cuban, once a vocal cheerleader for Kamala Harris’ 2024 campaign, has been deleting his pro-Harris tweets in the aftermath of her election loss. Critics have accused the billionaire businessman of trying to hide his missteps, as the Harris campaign becomes a symbol of Democratic failure.
Cuban claims his tweet deletions are routine, but the timing — less than a week after the election — has raised eyebrows. Critics say the move is an attempt to “memory-hole” his public support for Harris and avoid accountability for his controversial remarks during the campaign.

Libs of TikTok, the first to report the deletions, noted the inconsistency in Cuban’s actions. “If you stand by your words, why erase them?” the platform asked. Cuban’s defense that old tweets create “clutter” was widely dismissed as an excuse.
Cuban’s high-profile support for Harris included several widely criticized statements about her policies. At times, his comments appeared to contradict his own positions, leading to accusations of opportunism rather than genuine conviction.
Too late @mcuban we will never “unsee” it….We know who you are. Because you told us. https://t.co/lmUcyDuHmn

The deletions have drawn attention to Cuban’s role in the election and his credibility as a public figure. Critics argue that his actions undermine his reputation as a straight-talking entrepreneur and reveal a lack of confidence in his endorsements.
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 the dust settles on the 2024 election, Cuban’s decision to delete his tweets is unlikely to shield him from continued criticism. His reputation, already damaged by the election, remains under scrutiny.
