Elon Musk continues his public feud with former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, recently targeting Cuban’s support for what Musk deems inherently racist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies.
Musk escalated the conflict by sharing a video where Cuban openly admits his “prejudice” and acknowledges being “bigoted in a lot of different ways.”
In the video, Cuban controversially states, “if I see a black kid in a hoodie at night on the same side of the street, I’m probably going to walk to the other side.”
Musk took to X, condemning what he perceives as Cuban’s “ridiculous overcompensation regarding racism.” Drawing parallels to the #MeToo movement, Musk accused individuals of sudden activism, becoming “fake ardent feminists.”
“This explains Mark Cuban’s ridiculous overcompensation regarding racism. Same thing happened with #MeToo guys who got bust suddenly becoming fake ardent feminists,” Musk wrote in his tweet with the said video
In response to Musk’s tweet, X user Wall Street Silver expressed sympathy, stating, “It’s just sad watching people get forced into those struggle sessions. He looks like a hostage to the woke crowd, just trying to avoid becoming a target.” Musk responded with a simple 100% emoji, signaling agreement with the sentiment.
