Grant Cardone, a well-known real estate mogul and Donald Trump supporter, has recently aroused controversy by urging his followers to “quit doing business with the enemies.” Cardone's tweet, which names companies like Facebook, Google, YouTube, Big Pharma, and the IRS, has sparked many reactions.

As expected, his followers gave mixed responses. Some were confused and wondered how they could realistically stop using these companies. One follower even joked, “Do I have to give up YouTube? That's where I learned how to replace my toilet."
Trending: General Motors and other leaders revealed to be investing in this revolutionary lithium start-up — allowing easy entry by launching at just $9.50/share with a $1,000 minimum.
Some pointed out the irony of quitting platforms like Google and Facebook, given how essential they are to modern life and business. One person commented, “I wish I could quit Google, but that’s where I get all my business.”
Others were more skeptical, suggesting Cardone's message was contradictory since he uses social media to spread his ideas: “Man, you are on IG, Facebook, YouTube, and everywhere. WTF are you talking about?”

Another asked him whether he’s “leaving those platforms and no longer taking medicine." Most of the medicines we take today come from the pharmaceutical industry, which operates just like any other business.
Nevertheless, some of Cardone’s followers took his message at face value and suggested even more companies should be avoided. They mentioned everything from Dunkin', TikTok, and Levi's to energy drinks, fast food chains and Yeti products, adding to the list of businesses they see as harmful or too powerful.
Of course, responses also included Cardone Capital and even Cardone himself as brands people should avoid.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividendswould you invest in it?
Cardone's message oversimplifies a complex issue. Many of the platforms and companies he labels as “enemies” are deeply embedded in everyday life, and he himself relies on them to build his brand and connect with his audience. It’s no wonder that some of his followers wonder if his message is more about getting attention than providing practical and sincere advice.
In a recent post on X, Cardone also shared 11 ideas to improve America, including banning elected officials from stock trading, implementing flat or zero taxes, stopping funding wars, and enforcing laws.
