(Maire Clayton, Headline USA) Former Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban removed all of his posts supporting Vice President Kamala Harris following her loss to President-elect Donald Trump.
News of the deleted posts swirled Sunday when Libs of TikTok pointed out the deleted Harris posts.

Some were quick to call out Cuban for being inauthentic with his support of the failed Harris campaign.
“Mark Cuban deleting all his Kamala posts shows that none of his support was based on the reality of her as a candidate,” one user wrote. “[N]othing he said was authentic, it was all just an act because he didn’t want Republicans to win.”

All of the online chatter over the posts caused Cuban to take to X and issue a statement, claiming he always deletes posts associated with elections.
“I’ve always gone back and deleted tweets. For years,” Cuban wrote. “Same with 2020 election. 2016 election.”

He then told users to use the digital archive site Wayback Machine to check.
Cuban then proceeded to engage with users who called out the billionaire for deleting his prior support for the Democrat.
He claimed he removed the posts because the context risked being “lost over time.”
Cuban previously made headlines when he insulted female Trump supporters and implied only weak women supported the now president-elect.
“You never see him around strong, intelligent women,” Cuban said during an appearance on The View. “Ever. It’s just that simple.”
GOP women were quick to take to social media and blasted Cuban over the remarks.
Trump legal advisor Alina Habba scorched the Harris supporter and told him to “go to hell.”
The backlash led Harris’s campaign to seemingly distance itself from the billionaire in the waning days of the campaign, asking him to stop doing media appearances on Harris’s behalf, according to reports.

Cuban later attempted damage control and used the excuse of having to give hundreds of interviews as the reason behind his remarks.
“It’s part of politics, it was my mistake, and I apologized for it,” Cuban said. “I certainly wasn’t saying anything negative about anyone supporting Trump.”
