Didn't Mark Cuban say he was leaving X? Or maybe that was another whiny Leftist who threw a temper tantrum and only managed to stay gone like a few weeks? There are so many of them that it's hard to keep track, but nevertheless, Cuban remains the Twitchy gift that keeps on giving.
Check out the big brain on Cuban discussing tariffs:
It’s not about whether they are good or bad. It’s how you use them. Strategically they are great. They can help domestic industries

If you want to use them to offset income taxes, that’s a different purpose.
To offset OT, social security and tip taxes means you need a lot… https://t.co/QXJ2iLY8qJ

... of tariffs on a lot of products.
As Lutnick says, that’s a consumption tax. So the question is, if your taxes aren’t being reduced , are they good or bad ? Maybe it depends on whether you think a consumption tax is good.
The math doesn’t math
What? So he's ok with tariffs but not how Trump wants to use them?
All we can do at this point is laugh ... it was at this point Twitchy favorite MAZE popped into the conversation:
The most Mark Cuban answer ever. It's not what they are doing that's bad, it's how they are doing it that's bad. 😂

Just vague enough for Cuban to pretend he actually knows what he's talking about.
Adorbs, right?
MAZE must've been a little too close to home because Cuban responded:
That’s how business works. Great goal, no strategy or tactics to get there - you fail.

But in business, when it’s your own money , you can make mistakes and cover them up by spending more.
It’s completely different when it’s tax payer money and the economy as a whole.… https://t.co/QXXD4Jl522
Post continues (cripes, this guy loves the 'sound of his own voice'):
Mistakes can have significant consequences. We saw that with the amount of spending by both Biden and Trump during the pandemic. Both their spending put us in a debt hole that is going to be hard to get out of
Cutting costs is a great goal. Firing , cutting programs and tariffs all at once could create real economic issues for the country
Which may be what musk wants. He did say before the election , that it would get really bad for the first couple years.
Time will tell if their way works
Deep. So deep.
MAZE with the takedown:
I obviously do not have your business experience but I did own and run my own business for over a decade. I had 15-20 full time employees. Mistakes were very costly. It must be different when you are a billionaire but spending more money is not how small businesses fix mistakes.… https://t.co/CR0gQPpiaD

Post continues:
The government on the other hand is the epitome of spending more money to cover up mistakes. This is exactly what government does. Mistakes cost the government nothing. This is why we have a $36 trillion debt, because the people spending the money are not accountable for outcomes. I really don’t understand how you can have it so backwards. Businesses pay for their mistakes. Government does not.
I’ve watched many of your interviews over the years. You have consistently called for drastic action to reduce the size of government and now that someone is finally trying to do it, you object to the method. Fair enough. In 2015 you were asked if you were a Democrat and you said “hell no.” Well now you definitely are one and that means that there is no method this administration will use that you will not find objectionable.

Here he explains how the government egregiously wasted our money because it cost the government nothing to waste our money. pic.twitter.com/rD5LwCwVW4
And no one wastes money quite as well as our government.
