Mark Cuban criticized Elon Musk's empathy and leadership of DOGE in a recent interview.
Cuban argued Musk's cost-cutting measures harm government services and the people who need them.
He recommends transparency and giving back if Musk wants to show he cares about US taxpayers.
Billionaire Mark Cuban has been a vocal critic of Elon Musk, and his latest comments were about Musk's character.
During an appearance on the political podcast, "Somebody's Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri," Cuban called the Tesla CEO's empathy into question. Musk is the de facto leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and he's carrying out its mission of cutting government spending with layoffs and budgeting slashing at several agencies.
During a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan in February, Musk criticized the amount of "civilizational suicidal empathy" in the US. Although Musk said he thinks "you should care about other people," he called it a fundamental weakness of Western civilization.
"He's proven that that's his weakness — not having empathy," Cuban said.
If Musk "truly cared" about taxpayers, he would realize he doesn't need government subsidies for Tesla and he'd sell satellite internet network Starlink at cost, Cuban said. He would be transparent and not make "a penny" from his work at SpaceX, including rescuing two astronauts who were stranded in space, he added.
Musk has referred to himself and DOGE as "tech support" for the federal government aimed at updating outdated systems. Cuban told host Palmeri that Musk's version of tech support isn't only affecting the people he accuses of fraud.
For example, he said, DOGE's efforts to root out fraud and convert systems in the Social Security Administration have made it harder for some beneficiaries to get the services they need.
He added, "You don't just make it more difficult for them. You implement things that allow them to access the system. That's just normal in any system conversion."
It's "tech 101," according to Cuban, who says Musk would be fired immediately in tech support for dismantling existing systems before rolling out replacements.

Cuban is well known to be a Trump hater, so there's that.
Also, Mark may just be mad because he didn't know he was going to be shut out on basketball operations decisions when he sold to the Adelsons.

Trump's approval ratings for his first few weeks in office are some of the worst in modern history, beating only his own in 2017. Cuban has always been hard on loosers.

I don't know. Here's news that just broke 4 days ago. https://www.opencourt-basketball.com/20 ... heir-word/BigTex wrote:planosteve wrote:How do you know he didn't know?BigTex wrote:Cuban is well known to be a Trump hater, so there's that.

"Cuban’s expectations were dashed when the NBA prohibited him from including control of basketball operations in the sale agreement. While Cuban trusted the Adelsons to honor their verbal commitment, the new owners ultimately decided to take a different approach, leaving Cuban sidelined."
I'd be interested what the Mav fans are going to say? Sounds like a lot of passing the buck going on now.

Suicide would probably work. And I hear it's painless.
