Why It Matters: Cuban recently expressed his interest in acquiring both Rupert Murdoch's Fox News and Elon Musk's ‘X’.

Cuban stated, "If I had enough money to do it, which I don't, I'd buy it in a heartbeat," referring to his desire to purchase ‘X’ and Fox News.

In August, Cuban criticized Musk during an interview on “The Daily Show,” suggesting that the Tesla founder might have manipulated the platform’s algorithm. Musk responded with an emoji insult, escalating the dispute.

Despite their differences, Cuban has acknowledged Musk’s significant influence through his ownership of X. He described Musk as “the most influential man in the world” due to his control over the social media platform.
