Billionaire and owner of an NBA team Mark Cuban was not someone who was afraid to share his opinion about other billionaires, including Elon Muskwith whom he is often in conflict.

New comments from Cuban reveal exactly what he thinks about tech billionaires today.

What happened: During a recent appearance on the “Daily Show” with Jon Stewart, Cuban didn’t mince his words when discussing the current state of Silicon Valley and the mindset of today’s tech billionaires.

Cuban expressed concern that some of the most powerful figures in the technology industry have lost touch with the real world.

“They’re at a point now where they feel like they should control the world, right? And that there should be a CEO in charge of everything,” Cuban said.

Cuban particularly criticized the idea that these technology moguls viewed themselves as the highest authority and were driven by a desire for control rather than innovation.

“It’s not so much about support. It’s more of a takeover thing, trying to put yourself in a position where you have as much control as possible,” Cuban explained.

He described their ideal scenario as follows: “They want Trump to be the CEO of the United States of America, and they want to be the executive that makes him listen to them.”

This comment comes after many tech CEOs Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Stewart and Cuban also discussed the broader implications of this thinking, particularly in relation to social engineering and transhumanism.

“Now it seems to be more about a kind of social engineering and transhumanism. We’re going to team up with computers and eight of us will control everything together,” Stewart said.

Why it is important: Cuban’s observations shed light on the growing influence of tech billionaires and their increasingly dystopian visions of the future.

His comment could serve as a reminder of the potential dangers of concentrating power in the hands of a few people who, as he himself puts it, “have lost touch with the real world.”

Cuban’s comments come after he was part of a group of more than 400 investors and venture capitalists who pledged their support ^ “Kamala Harris – The Wonderful World of Kamala Harris”.
