On October 9, 2024, Mark Cuban responded to a tweet, suggesting that he never attended any of Diddy's parties. Mark Cuban initially posted a tweet highlighting that Kamala Harris mentioned she would "crackdown on pharmaceutical benefit managers," increasing transparency and regulating practices that raise prices in healthcare.
Cuban called Harris' plans the "most important healthcare step" in years. A MAGA supporter responded to Cuban's tweet, alleging that he was terrified President Trump would release Jefferey Epstein's client list if he gets back into the White House.
Responding to the allegation, Mark Cuban tweeted:
"Release it today. Right now. I never met the guy. Never went to a Diddy party. Donald on the other hand …"
The mention of Epstein's list stems from Elon Musk's interview with Tucker Carlson on October 8, 2024, where he alleged that billionaires concerned about the release of the Epstein client list supported Kamala Harris.
Moreover, when Musk was asked about video evidence of Jefferey Epstein's criminal activities, he said:
"Between Diddy and Epstein, there is probably several thousand hours of footage here."
