In his conversation with Terpak, the Shark Tank expert discusses how people wish to have their digital footprint removed and how he got into several Twitter jabs with Elon Musk.

When Terpak talked about how Elon posted more than 30 tweets directly or indirectly to Cuban, he revealed how he had made a folder and bookmarked all Musk's tweets,

"You know, it's funny...like I went back... so anytime he mentioned me or referenced me directly or indirectly, I would bookmark it and then I would put it in a folder called Elon. I went back the other day and just in 2024 put aside...more than 40 times. I stopped at 40."

He further revealed the type of tweets Elon Musk would post and call the Shark Tank investor names,

"Calling me a liar, calling me you know a sh*t emoji, calling me this, calling me that, the whole Rachel Maddow thing, right with my glasses. I mean just ridiculous sh*t, just ridiculous sh*t, you know. It's like at least he could be marginally creative, wearing glasses or maybe the... at the UFC fight to give a sh*t I mean."

When Terpak tried to understand what people should take from this incident, the Shark Tank star clarified that the conversation had nothing for people's gain.

"There's nothing there to take, nothing. I don't have any animosity towards him. I just think he's thin-skinned, I'll tell you one quick story and I've said this publicly. So there was a time when we would text every now and then and this was eight years ago, he continued. "In any event, he saw an article where I just said just the most marginal minor negative thing about Tesla and I get text from him and all it said was a link to the article and f**k you and that was the last time I texted. No, I texted him one time after that he had one of his many kids and I said congratulations on number 97 or whatever and he responded with 'Mars Needs People.'"

Shark Tank panelist looks back at the last conversation he shared with Musk and how he got upset over Cuban's comment on Tesla.
