It looks like Mark Cuban is throwing some serious shade Elon Musk's way. The "Shark Tank" star and outspoken billionaire said he'd buy X (formerly Twitter) from Musk "in a heartbeat" if he had the chance. But Cuban admits it's a pipe dream, as Musk has no reason to sell. The tables have turned on Musk, who's notorious for his wild acquisition offers. Now, he's the one tasting a dose of his own medicine with Cuban casually eyeing his platform, adding fuel to their public jabs. Cuban, a known crypto enthusiast, has been influential in pushing digital assets. His interest in acquiring X brings speculations about how a Cuban-led platform might further integrate cryptocurrency, especially given his previous ventures in blockchain and crypto-related projects. Musk, a crypto heavyweight himself, is now facing a rare reversal, with Cuban potentially driving new narratives in the social media and crypto spaces. Such moves could spark volatility and excitement in the market​.
