"To protect brand Elon at all costs": Shark Tank mentor Mark Cuban calls out Elon Musk regarding the censorship of X

Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban shared a Tweet on February 6, 2025, voicing his concerns about the social media platform's censorship. While doing that, the billionaire investor called out Elon Musk and his intentions behind the platform's censorship.

He also stated that "free speech" is everything until "anything" is related to Elon. Mark asked netizens who had "complete control" over speech on X (formerly Twitter). The investor added that the "censorship" of the platform was in the "hands of a single person," calling out Elon Musk.

Part of the Tweet on social media platform X read:

"Anyone consider that maybe Elon's mission, is for Elon to get what he wants, rather than the country to get what you voted for ? It's not a shock for Elon, or anyone, to put their personal goals first Elon seems to be on a mission to protect brand Elon at all costs. No ?"

In his February 6, 2025, Tweet, Shark Tank's Mark Cuban called out Tesla Motors CEO and executive chairman of X (formerly Twitter). He initiated the Tweet by asking netizens about "Elon's mission." He said it was for Elon to get "what he wants."

However, he stated it was not a "shock," not for Elon or anyone else who puts their "goals first." The Shark Tank mentor further noted how "free speech" was everything, but that was only until there was something about Elon; if so, that might not have been the case.

The Tweet further read:

"Free Speech is everything. Until it's anything related to Elon. Who has complete control over speech here on X. The censorship of the platform you adore is in the hands of a single person, who is on a mission to make himself the most powerful person in the world. above and beyond the President of the United States."

"Mr. Cuban do you think there could be a chance that Mr. Musk is a nice guy, patriotic and cares about the country? Why do you have to take a rectal view of everything Musk, Trump, and all the other persons putting this country right are doing?"

A netizen supported Mark and replied to his post:

"Btw my account is clearly shadow banned by our free speech hero. Abuse of power, just like Mark Cuban described."

Another user commented:

"Sorry buddy but Musk’s goal is to make the world a better place—to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy. What have you done other than criticize the dude doing the most to help?"

An X user replied to Mark Cuban, stating "petty jealousy" and commented:

"Have you considered that 77 million of us want the same things as Elon does? Just because you can't get past your petty jealousy of a brilliant businessman, doesn't mean the rest of us agree with you. How much do you get paid by USAID & their embezzled taxpayer money?"
