Cuban's net worth is exactly the same today as it was in 1999. In 25 years, he has failed to grow his $5B. Adjusting for inflation, he has actually lost somewhere around 50% of his net worth. Elon in the same time frame has multiplied his earnings something like 70 fold.

Cuban is Russ Hanneman from Silicon Valley. There's a scene in the show that makes this exact point about Hanneman.

What does that have to do with his loyalty? He's more loyal to Gavin Newsome than he is Kayleigh McEnany and the entire world knows why. If you do anything but suck him off you're the enemy and PNG in the Magasphere.

The funny thing is that I'd bet Mark Cuban is the exact same way.

Sounds like Cuban wanted a quid pro quo. He might want to read this report from the Congressional Research Service about that.

Why would the richest man in the world need a favor from anyone?

So he's saying he wanted a political favor and found out he wouldn't be bought

Loyalty to anyone other than the American people is of no consequence to me.

Funny that people use Trumps La know loyalty to bureaucrats and donors as some kind of a slur. To me it’s one of his best qualities.

Emotion leads to logical fallacy.

It would follow that Gavin must have "sucked him off" more than McEnany at some point. But of course, that did not happen. So perhaps there is another explanation? For example, if I bring you into my inner circle, and boost your career, yet you chose to use the position to breech my trust and screw the team, you're a public anathema.

If you are going to have a beef with someone, that's probably the most legit beef to have. Where's my quid for the quo?

Where's the emotion? You can listen to Trump say it himself; he couldn't attack Gavin because Gavin was complimentary. He's probably fair game now because he's attacking Trump, but the metric is still the same. If you do anything less than praise Trump, real or perceived, he shite-talks you.

Hey douche bag Cuban... Elon is not beholden to anyone. He has more money than you and Trump and a ton of other arrogant, narcissistic filthy rich fricks, like you, put together. It's not about Trump. It's much bigger than Trump and I don't know how much these idiots like Cuban need to see to realize this. It's about the future of this country and the future of the principles of freedom and liberty this country was founded on... and weeding out the corrupt establishment scumbag pieces of shite who have been openly subverting them and trying to destroy the ideals this country was founded on.

Based on that, make your case. What did Trump push contrary to voters' wishes?

To not pay workers overtime.

I value loyalty as my main indicator of whether I can continue a relationship but not once have I danced around why that loyalty was broken. Why not tell us
