Mark Cuban might be greatest referred to as that billionaire on Shark Tank. But did you additionally know he’s shortly changing into the worst poster on Bluesky? It’s true.
Cuban shared an AI-generated video on Friday that will rank as the one worst piece of media ever created for an rising social media platform. And that’s clearly an especially excessive bar.
What did Cuban share? Well, it’s sort of arduous to clarify. Imagine the sort of political video that makes completely no person blissful and manages to piss off anybody with two mind cells to rub collectively. Imagine the sort of video that asks the query, “what if fascists are literally our greatest mates?” Imagine the sort of video that has Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi in MAGA hats and Donald Trump hugging Barack Obama.
The video, was despatched out by Cuban with the caption “You need to manifest it first ?” and Cuban himself even makes an AI-appearance subsequent to a poorly rendered variations of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. The theme of the video is MAUA, or Make America United Again.
Yep, that’s fairly a video, isn’t it? Just absolute dogshit wrapped in AI—the aesthetics of fascism at this level. It’s additionally simply not very properly produced from a technical standpoint.
Like, what the hell is occurring right here? That’s… Trump?
Mark Cuban was embraced by Kamala Harris’s presidential marketing campaign in 2024 as a billionaire who might apparently supply some recommendation on know-how coverage, together with crypto. And there have been loads of rumors about how Cuban himself would possibly need to run for president someday. Kara Swisher, the billionaire tech mogul whisperer herself, not too long ago stated she thinks it might occur.
But individuals who like Cuban as a possible political candidate appear to be residing in a really antiquated model of Democratic politics. Cuban is a centrist at a time when extremism has taken root within the Republican Party. So many Democrats appear satisfied that Harris’s drawback is that she was too excessive, even supposing she was campaigning with literal Republicans like Liz Cheney and by no means shared a stage with the “excessive” lefty candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Cuban has made a transition to Bluesky as some sort of protest towards Musk and his connections to Trump, as these guys utterly destroy the U.S. authorities. And but, Cuban is sharing a video about the way it’s nice to unite with these fascists. It’s all very complicated.
But a minimum of some Democrats are becoming a member of within the spirit of Cuban’s “Make America United Again” marketing campaign. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic chief within the Senate, helped push ahead the Republican spending bundle that retains the federal government open. Schumer’s rationale is that in the event that they didn’t let the Republicans have all the things they need, Musk would fireplace a bunch of federal workers, one thing he’s already been doing.
No, Schumer’s logic doesn’t make any sense. But a minimum of the Democrats received completely nothing in return for giving Trump all the things he needed. In reality, Trump even praised Schumer Friday morning for his help. Way to go, Chuck. You’re actually uniting America.
