Mark Cuban has criticized Donald Trumpâs campaign amid Elon Muskâs growing involvement in the former US Presidentâs election bid. Cuban believes that Muskâs involvement shows Trump is no longer the one in charge but the worldâs richest man.
Musk, who happens to be one of Trumpâs most vocal supporters, has taken steps, including using financial incentives to ensure that Trump becomes the next President.
Mark Cuban Suggests Trumpâs Campaign Has Become About Elon Musk
In a CNBC interview, the Billionaire suggested that Donald Trumpâs campaign has become about Elon Musk rather than the former US President himself. This came following his statement that the âcrazy thingâ is that it has become the Kamala Harris campaign versus Musk and not Trump.
The worldâs richest man has been one of Trumpâs biggest supporters, dedicating both his time and finances to ensuring that Trump becomes the next US President. Elon Musk has also gone as far as appearing at rallies and holding town hall meetings to promote Donald Trumpâs election bid.
He recently appeared at a Pennsylvania rally to support the former US President, where he interestingly even discussed XRP following a question by someone in the audience.
However, while it seems that Musk is simply supporting who he believes is the best candidate, someone like Mark Cuban looks to think that the worldâs richest man has now made it about himself.
Meanwhile, Cuban also opined that the Polymarket odds favoring Donald Trump donât indicate anything and cannot be relied on. He noted that Americans cannot bet on Polymarket. As such, he remarked that most money going to Polymarket bets is likely foreign money rather than from Americans.
He also suggested during the interview that Kamala Harrisâ supporters are likely the shy voters this time, which explains why it looks like Donald Trump is winning based on public opinion.
Elon Muskâs $1 Million Giveaway To Voters
Mark Cuban also commented on Elon Muskâs $1 Million giveaway to voters in swing states. The worldâs richest man announced that he would give this sum daily to one registered voter who signs the petition by America PAC, a political action group that the billionaire created to back Trump. Cuban stated that the move is âinnovative and desperate.â
He claimed that one only does that when they think they have to and added that whether or not it will work is another thing as it could easily backfire.
Mark Cuban also spoke on whether this move was legal, especially with criticisms that this could classify as vote buying. He looked into it, initially thinking it was illegal but might be legal. The billionaire added that from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) perspective, he has no idea if it is legal.
The US election has become significant to the crypto market because of Donald Trumpâs pro-crypto stance, while Harris remains unclear about where she stands. Market experts like Standard Chartered and Bernstein have predicted that the Bitcoin price could reach a new all-time high (ATH) if Trump wins the November 5 US elections.
