Bluesky users responded to Cuban’s post.

“Mark, you helped her deliver the White House to Trump. Please stay out of politics,” one person wrote on the platform.

“Honestly, that’s good. While we can’t ignore it forever, a break right now to regroup, reevaluate, and reground ourselves is needed,” another person said.

The Shark Tank star was one of the most active surrogates for Harris, speaking at rallies around the country and doing media interviews.

Cuban stepped in controversy in the final weeks of the Harris campaign when he made the suggestion that women around Trump were weak and dumb.

“Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban said during an appearance on ABC’s The View. “It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can’t have her around. It wouldn’t work.”

The comments went viral and set off a slew of social media posts of numerous Trump-supporting women responding to Cuban on social media with their disdain of his criticism.

Cuban later attempted to clarify and apologize for his comments.

“I would probably just add that I’m only speaking to the point that I haven’t seen [Trump] side-by-side on the campaign trail with women I consider strong and intelligent. Like Nikki Haley, Kellyanne [Conway] and Tulsi [Gabbard], among others,” he said.

When Trump won the election last week, the billionaire congratulated Trump and Musk for their win.

“Congrats @realDonaldTrump,” Cuban wrote on X. “You won fair and square. Congrats to @elonmusk as well.”
