Billionaire investor Mark Cuban congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on election night. He sent his message via social media after Pennsylvania was called for Trump.
"Congrats @realDonald Trump. You won fair and square," Cuban posted on X. This left Vice President Kamala Harris with a slim chance of victory.
Cuban also acknowledged fellow billionaire Elon Musk, saying, "Congrats to @ElonMusk as well. #Godspeed." Musk is a known Trump supporter.
Congrats @realDonaldTrump. You won fair and square.

Congrats to @elonmusk as well. #Godspeed
Recently, Cuban stated Musk wouldn’t get a cabinet position in a Trump administration. He cited potential conflicts of interest due to Musk's business ventures.
Cuban faced backlash for his remarks about Trump and women. He claimed Trump avoids strong, intelligent women, like former Republican candidate Nikki Haley.
"Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever," Cuban said. "It’s just that simple. They're intimidating to him."
He added that Haley would challenge Trump on issues like reproductive rights, making it difficult for him to include her in his circle.
Later, Cuban called his comments a "mistake." Last month, he mentioned he’d be willing to assist Trump if Harris lost.
"If Trump wins… I’ll do the same thing. I’m America first," he said, recalling his past help with health care and PPE during Trump's first term.
