DEI - 'I Seriously Don't Know:' Mark Cuban Claps Back After VC David Sacks Accuses Him Of Supporting Trump's 'Show Trials' And 'Defending Their DEI Lies' | Benzinga
Billionaire businessman Mark Cuban sparked a heated discussion with venture capitalist David Sacks on his stance regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in business.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Cuban and Sacks had a heated discussion over Donald Trump‘s recent New York fraud trial where the former president was fined $355 million along with a three-year ban on business in the state.
Cuban, who sided with the judge’s ruling, cited how Trump’s misrepresentation of numbers was “equivalent of saying he [Trump] never had any intention to be honest about the value of anything.”
He also added that the judge’s decision was in line with protecting citizens and future leaders of New York.
Sacks replied to Cuban saying, “Mark, ingratiating yourself with the commissars by supporting their show trials and defending their DEI lies is a smart short-term strategy. But eventually, they'll come for your fortune too if you let them get powerful enough.”
Cuban responded to Sacks, “Who exactly are the commissars [David Sacks]? I seriously don't know. Hard to ingratiate myself if I don't know who they are.”
