This is only an opinion piece and yes libs of TikTok etc are trolling Cuban, but he always struck me as a sleazy opportunist:
Fine by me. I was always of this opinion:

He claims he is cleaning up social media as a routine thing. Yeah whatever..I always had a qualm seeing this guy on the trail and calling for Lina Khan to be gone etc.
I am also cleaning up my Du Journal but only because I am ashamed of my attempt to reinvent myself as a starry eyed cheerleader ;-/.
I guess we should stick with what we understand not ill fitting “Go Team” stuff..I was a little chilled in the weeks leading up to the election by the lack of enthusiasm in progressive media. That was a tell tale sign possibly.

Mark Cuban regrets backing Kamala Harris, deletes his pro-VP posts in shocking U-turn
The businessman has changed sides several times over the years.
Billionaire investor and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban, once an outspoken supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, has now distanced himself from his endorsement, even going so far as to delete pro-Harris comments from his social media.
Cuban, who initially supported Harris with enthusiasm, took to X (formerly Twitter) on election night to concede defeat, congratulating both President-elect Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk, one of Trump's most influential backers.
Cuban was a faithful ally of Trump
Once a Trump supporter himself, Cuban's political journey has been complex, having endorsed Trump in 2016 before "growing out of it," due to what he described as an inability to engage in constructive conversations with the former president.
Now, Cuban's political reset has him at odds with his previous positions, leaving some to question where he'll land next. Despite the backlash, Cuban's early acknowledgment of Trump's victory earned him some unexpected praise, with fans of the former president commending his "mature response" and gracious concession.
