Cuban brought up the racist onslaught he faces on the platform due to his Jewish faith and roots. He recounted an instance where someone said, “Tell the Jew to shut the f**k up” on X. Cuban said he routinely bookmarks such hate posts.
“Twitter has become just a cesspool for hate,” said Cuban. The “Shark Tank” host said X users “gang up” when someone goes on the platform to change their minds. He contrasted X with Meta Platform Inc’s Instagram and Microsoft’s Linked In, saying they were not in the same league.
