Entrepreneur Mark Cuban says that he’ll vote for Joe Biden over Donald Trump, going so far as to say that he’d back the current president vs. his likely challenger even if “he was being given last rites.”
Cuban’s comments quickly took off on social media, and he added further clarity on Tuesday, when he told Axios that he found Trump to be “a snake oil salesperson.”

Cuban’s comments come amid media focus on Biden’s age as a major concern for voters, while the president’s backers complain that many of Trump’s extreme statements get relatively little coverage.

X/Twitter owner Elon Musk mocked Cuban after his comments about Biden with a made up quote: “‘If Biden were a flesh-eating zombie with 5 seconds to live where, upon being re-elected, Earth would plunge into a 1000 years of darkness, I would still vote for him.’ — Mark Cuban.”
But Cuban responded, “While I have your attention. Wanted to say thank you! Your consultants for @tesla followed up
