TL;DR Billionaire Mark Cuban wants to purchase Elon Musk's social media platform X. In an interview with Wired, he expressed his desire to own the platform in a 'perfect world.' Cuban has been vocal about his support for Kamala Harris and has shared his thoughts on digital assets.

Mark Cuban Would Buy X From Elon Musk In A 'Perfect World'

Billionaire Kamala Harris supporter and long-time crypto investor Mark Cuban says he would buy social media platform X from Tesla founder Elon Musk if he could.

According to a Wired interview, when asked by journalist Lauren Goode if he would consider purchasing the Musk-run social media company 'in a perfect world,' Cuban said yes.

'I wish I could,' Cuban said. 'There's no reason for him to sell it.' Calling the platform a 'powerful right-leaning community,' the former 'Shark Tank' star has been heavily vocal on X, often supporting Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

'Hey @elonmusk! 1st. Congrats on Polaris. Truly an amazing accomplishment,' Cuban wrote in a September 15 X post. '2nd. I will tell you what I know if you want to ask me questions about any of @KamalaHarris's policies and approaches. In exchange, I hope you will do the same about the Republican Candidate. AMA.'

Cuban's Support for Kamala Harris

Cuban, perhaps best known for his prescription cost-cutting service Cost Plus Drugs, has even called Harris a 'pro-business' candidate. In July, the outspoken digital asset investor told Politico that Harris could be 'more open' to digital assets.

'The feedback I'm getting, but certainly not confirmed by the VP, is that she will be far more open to business (artificial intelligence), crypto, and government as a service,' Cuban said. 'Changing the policies changes the message and lets everyone know she is in charge and open for business.'

The Race Between Donald Trump And Kamala Harris Heats Up

The former top prosecutor has remained quiet about her overall policy stance on digital assets, prompting concern from members of the crypto community.

Meanwhile, Republican nominee Donald Trump has seemingly strengthened his ties to the blockchain sector as a whole on the campaign trail.

Just this week, the former reality television star and his family launched their novel cryptocurrency platform, World Liberty Financial (WLF), just one day after a second assassination attempt on the former U.S. president's life at his Mar-a-Lago home.

During the WLF announcement, Trump warned that American crypto entrepreneurs would be 'living in hell' should he lose at the ballot box come November.

However, as Harris continues to maintain a slight lead over the Republican nominee in national polls, who will take the Oval Office remains to be seen.
