Business investor and television personality Mark Cuban on Monday criticized Silicon Valley’s support for former President Trump, arguing that support for the Republican presidential candidate looks like a “takeover thing.”
In an interview with Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” Cuban continued to criticize Trump supporters in Silicon Valley for wanting as much “control” as possible.
“They want Trump to be the CEO of the United States of America, and they want to be the board of directors that makes him listen to them,” he told Stewart in the interview.
“What is the ethos?” Stewart asked Cuban. “Now it seems much more about social engineering and transhumanism, and we’re going to get together with the computers, and together eight of us are going to run everything. Is that the ethos you see?”
Cuban has frequently criticized the former president, highlighting Trump’s past statements about the economy when he was in office and the support he received from Silicon Valley.
“You know, they’ve gotten to the point where they feel like they should control the world,” Cuban said.
“Because they have a good photo app?” Stewart argued.
“Because they’re rich as fuck, right?” Cuban said, adding that “they’ve lost connection to the real world.”
