Late last week, Mark Cuban tweeted on X, "Anyone consider that maybe Elon’s mission, is for Elon to get what he wants, rather than the country to get what you voted for? It’s not a shock for Elon, or anyone, to put their personal goals first. Elon seems to be on a mission to protect brand Elon at all costs. No? Free Speech is everything. Until it’s anything related to Elon. Who has complete control over speech here on X. The censorship of the platform you adore is in the hands of a single person, who is on a mission to make himself the most powerful person in the world. above and beyond the President of the United States."
Mark Cuban can best be described as an opportunist. If Broadcast.com, which Cuban sold to Yahoo! for $5.7 billion at the peak of the dot-com bubble, had never existed, our lives today would likely be exactly the same... with no noticeable difference.
Broadcast.com didn't invent the RealAudio technology it used. RealAudio was developed in 1994 by RealNetworks and Mark Cuban being a greedy opportunist launched Broadcast.com in 1995 but at first, he was too cheap to spend $100,000 on the domain name. Cuban initially launched the web site as AudioNet.com. GoDaddy didn't exist back then, so he had to buy AudioNet.com using Network Solutions, which was very expensive at $100 per year!
While Elon Musk is sending rockets into space and will likely soon be helping Trump develop America's Iron Dome by using the rugged low latency AI on the edge servers of One Stop Systems (OSS), Mark Cuban's biggest accomplishment was his 1998 broadcast of Space Shuttle Discovery blasting off into space after he finally purchased the Broadcast.com domain name for $75,000. Unfortunately, Cuban was caught by surprise that so many people would want to watch a Space Shuttle. The broadcast of Space Shuttle Discovery's launch didn't go smoothly. According to Cuban, "We ran into some problems. When you're expecting a busy day, you can add on servers and get ready for it. We weren't expecting it to be that busy, so some people got bumped off at first, but as we added servers, we solved that problem."
As owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban resented the fact that all of his success came from having 2 of the 3 best white NBA players of the last 30 years. This led to his DEI hire of Nico Harrison as GM, who is undoubtedly the least qualified GM in NBA history. Cuban didn't care because Cuban was a "hands on" owner making all of the important decisions himself. Cuban was working as the Maverick's Real GM, and his DEI hire wasn't allowed to screw anything up.
Unfortunately, Cuban the selfish opportunist had a chance to sell control of the Mavericks for $3.5 billion while keeping a 27% stake for himself. The Adelson Family who bought the controlling stake from Cuban has experience at running casinos and knows nothing about the NBA.
Cuban secretly hates the Adelsons because they donated more to Trump than even Elon Musk! Unfortunately, the Adelsons didn't know Cuban secretly hates them. They trusted that since Cuban hired Nico Harrison as GM, he must know what he is doing! Cuban didn't make any attempt to tell the Adelsons that Nico Harrison was a DEI hire! Dallas Mavericks Governor Patrick Dumont who married into the Adelson Family and was handed his roles at Sands and the Mavericks gave Nico Harrison a huge contract extension six months ago!
We all know what happened one week ago... Nico Harrison traded Luka the NBA's #1 best offensive player to the Lakers for Anthony Davis! Cuban claims he was as surprised as everybody, but Cuban sabotaged the Dallas Mavericks franchise... not wanting them to be successful unless he was still running the team!
