Mark Cuban warned Elon Musk about Donald Trump’s sense of loyalty after the Tesla CEO’s statement that this could be America’s “last election” if Trump loses.
The billionaires are feuding over Musk’s support for former President Donald Trump, while the former Dallas Mavericks owner endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Musk drew Cuban’s ire on Sunday by making a stark statement on X about Democrats conspiring to manipulate the electorate. Tesla’s founder emphasized that democracy is in danger; and only Trump can save us.
“Very few Americans realize that if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election,” he wrote. “Rather than being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!”
Cuban has known Trump for decades and warned Musk, one of the ex-president’s biggest backers, about his true sense of loyalty.

“Elon, there comes a time when you need something from Donald Trump. You will think you have earned the right to ask and receive,” Cuban wrote.
“You have been a loyal, faithful soldier to him. You have supported him politically with tens of millions of dollars. Then, when you need him most, you will discover what so many have learned before: his loyalty is only to himself.”
The Shark Tank star has said he would be willing to do “anything I can” to get Harris across the finish line in his home state of Pennsylvania.
Musk had delivered a lengthy rant about an impending Democratic plot to shift the electorate if the party retained the White House in November.
He said Democrats will import millions of voters through illegal immigration over the next four years, quickly gaining citizenship and putting swing state margins in the blue column.
‘America will then become a one-party state and democracy will be over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This happened many years ago in California, after the 1986 amnesty,” he wrote.
“The only thing keeping California from extreme socialism and stifling government policies is that people can leave California and still stay in America. Once the entire country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape,” Musk continued.
“Everywhere in America will look like the nightmare in downtown San Francisco.”
Musk has provided no evidence to support his elaborate theory, which was spread to millions of people on the social media platform he owns.

As a surrogate for the Harris campaign, Cuban has tried to emphasize that it is Harris — not Trump — who has a plan to continue improving the economy four years after the COVID-19 pandemic began.
“When you talk to her staff about crafting policy, they literally dive in and try to understand it,” Cuban said. “And if you do that, just like in a real business, you won’t just be boisterous about everything you’re going to say.”
‘That’s the difference between the two. Trump will just say what he thinks he needs to say,” the Shark Tank star said.
Cuban — who has been feuding with Trump since he came to power in 2016 — said Wednesday he believes Trump’s advantage over the economy is “diminishing.”
“I mean people are realizing that having a well thought out plan is a lot better than someone just talking,” he told DailyMail.com.
Musk has suggested he will go a step further if Trump is appointed to a White House role.
Trump said that if he is elected president in November, he would be open to appointing Tesla’s CEO to a cabinet or advisory role.
‘He’s a very smart guy. I would definitely do that, if he did it, I would definitely do that. He’s a brilliant guy,” Trump said in an interview with Reuters.

Musk responded to the comments on X today with just five words: “I am willing to serve.”
Musk, the richest man in the world, has boosted Trump on X and dismissed left-wing ideas as a “woke-mind virus.”
Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020 but has since veered to the right.
Musk said he believed he and the Republican Party were more closely aligned on their “core values” than he and the Democrats.
“One of those values is meritocracy, as much meritocracy as possible, so that you get ahead based on your skills and nothing else,” he said.
Musk has also become more aligned with the Republican Party on social issues after revealing that he claimed he was “tricked” by the “woke mind virus” into allowing one of his sons to die. to become a transgender woman.
He said the PAC supported freedom from “as much government intervention as possible” and claimed the state was becoming more restrictive every year.
