He’s for sure about to become a politician.

[–] Possible-End-8743@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just what this country needs another billionaire in power. I can't wait for the sweeping changes in the material conditions for the working class "nice" guy cuban might propose.

I guess we are just removing the middle man now and giving the keys right to those who've been paying our politicians off rather than putting systems in place to stop the corruption and purchasing of our democracy. But I forgot..money is the only virtue in America it seems.

[–] momentumdraggin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

God I hope he runs for President….we need someone like him now.

[–] Dirtiest_Dangles@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s where the real money is…

[–] chibuye92@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i've always understood this to be true, but today i finally wanna ask, how? what does the real money actually entail?

[–] yoppee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No way he would lose really fast

[–] Derrickmb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Naw he got diagnosed w cancer.

[–] clintgreasewoood@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Governor of Texas? Maybe challenge Ted Cruz for Senate

[–] AnnaKendrickPerkins@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or he's dying, not to be morbid.

[–] lolvalue@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That or he’s about to get canceled

[–] jimi-ray-tesla@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

on that topic, check out the monstrosity that is adelson

[–] GreedWillKillUsAll@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

See I was thinking he just got a real bad health diagnosis and wants to go out on a rampage

[–] Ektaliptka@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] DannyDOH@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or he was at the same club as Josh Giddey

[–] Ill_Celery_7654@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

With all the Billionaires and Politicians that were on Epstein Island I wouldn’t be surprised.

[–] Wuffy_RS@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ross Perot 2:Electric Boogaloo

[–] _Poppagiorgio_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s hilarious to think Mark Cuban will be the Disclosure president.

[–] ElToberino@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mark Cuban was interested in politics from a young age

[–] ModsEmbezzleMoney@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I miss those characters so much

[–] VegAinaLover@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I enjoyed the intrigue and speculation enough that I almost wish I had never watched the finale.

[–] Outbound3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’d vote for him instead of Biden or trump. It’s the trumper main argument he’s a business man, only unlike trump he hasn’t bankrupteddamn near every business he’s ever owned

[–] tomhalejr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That was my first thought. Didn't he mention something during the last presidential cycle about it? Like, not now, or timing didn't work out (with ballot qualifications I assume), or something like that?

[–] Plenty-Sleep8540@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hopefully if he's serious he goes for Governor or something first rather than straight to President since that won't likely work and then if he would eventually win higher office he'd have a bit of experience in government as would the people he works with.

Or he and any other billionaires could stay the fuck out of government like they should.

[–] senor_moustache@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Senate election is next year. Governor isn’t till 2026. He might try for senate and then president in 28.

If there's a country left in 2028...

[–] jaywalker_69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bruh I hate these celebrities going for the top job

Maybe go for Texas governor first or something, Jesus

[–] wh1036@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As badly as I want someone to oust Greg Abbott, Mark Cuban has no chance in Texas because he is on the record saying that gun laws should be reformed due to mass shootings. Beto was the most popular non-R candidate we've had in years and he lost in a landslide for making similar statements.

[–] Nutholsters@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My first question was “Is he depressed?”

[–] ModsEmbezzleMoney@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I jumped to terminal illness then thought politics. Who knows with this dude. Hope he doesn't have like early dementia or something.

[–] IcedCoffeeIsBetter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't be overseeing basketball ops if it was terminal illness

[–] WarPuig@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s running.

[–] TheWonderfulLife@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yea there’s no other explanation. He literally LOVES both those things. And nothing outside of becoming a political figure prevents him from continuing to be on TV and be a primary professional sports owner. And he’s gonna fund his own way.

He’s got my vote 😂

[–] pissposssweaty@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

…or he’s going to get accused of something.

Leaving Shark Tank and selling his basketball team in a few days isn’t normal behavior. A life altering disease doesn’t really explain it. He either wants to reduce his public persona or to divest from public assets. Politics or wanting to draw less attention to his family fits the bill, but so does facing charges.

He was accused and cleared (criminally) of sexual assault back in 2011. That’s enough proof to say he’s innocent, so don’t preemptively shit on him, but it’s something to note if something else comes up. That was way before Me Too and no civil (aka cash grab) charges were filed. Plus, the Mavericks already had problems with SA being ignored within the organization.

I’d watch how Sony responds to this and how much he gets featured in shark tank content going forward. The studio is risk averse.

[–] 100wordanswer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's still running the team tho, so he's not getting out of public life. He's just cashing in.

[–] Legalize-Birds@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or theres about to be more scandalous accusations coming out from things he's apart of

[–] worksucksbro@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Either that or something big is about to break

[–] SocialistNixon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He should try running for Governor of Texas rather than polling nothing in a general election.

[–] Either-Wallaby-3755@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or he got a cancer diagnosis

[–] richb83@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly, Republicans would probably line up to get him on the ticket to move away from the other guy.

[–] yupyupyuypypn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or get me too’d

Totally agree with you.

Or about to get exposed

[–] jankology@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

When Cuban was out of college and selling software systems one of his first and biggest clients was Perot Systems (Owned by Ross Perot).

[–] DaveyDukes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My first thought was health concerns.

[–] Fluid-Night-1910@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He wants to spend more time with family after his daughters went to college - I read somewhere

[–] eramthgin007@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd vote for him.

[–] iAm-Tyson@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or he’s getting out of all his most inflated assets at peak value before this economy finally tanks.
