I love when tops and bottoms argue 🎉
I wish Australia had a version of CPD. I can’t believe more people don’t know about it. I tell people about it in the US and half the time they’ve never heard of it. I just say, if you’re on meds, at least look and see if it’s there.
He isn't the left's favorite billionaire. Taylor Swift is
6:05 Mark Cuban is wrong and Jon pointed it out. Your algorithm for you feed is based on what YOU tend to interact with the most, just like YouTube or Instagram.
Mark spends half his day arguing with right wingers and right wing content so that’s what his for you page looks like.
I tend to like science and finance. So that’s what my feed is mostly about.
You can click “do not recommend” if you see content you don’t want to see.
It’s literally 2024 and yall still don’t know how to use these apps? It’s a feature on every social media feed.
Smh Mark Cuban.
Mark Cuban is such a boss leader. Great interview!
Oh, so we are not worthy we are not worthy, so we must sit and listen to a couple millionaires discuss world affairs that we common folk just can’t grasp!
Come on Mr. Stewart
When are you going to talk about lab labor issues?
The entire discussion is about the wealthy and their machinations
The lefts favorite billionaire? Gimme a break.
Summary
* (2:23) Mark Cuban believes Silicon Valley tech elites aim to control the world, likening their desired relationship with politicians like Trump to a CEO (Trump) and a board of directors (tech elites). He finds this concerning.
* (3:40) He believes Elon Musk is likely the most influential person in the world due to his control over X (formerly Twitter) and its global reach. Cuban highlights how Musk's control of algorithms influences discourse and his transparency about concerning views, such as the inevitability of civil war.
* (10:30) Cuban is optimistic about AI's future despite the unpredictable nature of large language models (LLMs). He emphasizes the US's leading position in AI development and believes Gen Z's understanding of technology will lead to positive innovation and regulation.
* (12:13) He acknowledges the potential for rapid and disruptive change due to AI's fast-paced development, comparing it to the Industrial Revolution and globalization but occurring much faster. However, he sees this disruption as inevitable and believes in American ingenuity to navigate it.
* (16:49) *Cuban advocates for price transparency in healthcare, highlighting his company CostPlusDrugs.com as an example.* He criticizes pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) for a lack of transparency and their role in inflating drug prices. He sees his efforts in disrupting the healthcare industry as more impactful than pursuing power in other arenas like politics or AI.
* (20:36) Cuban believes the U.S. government should leverage its position as the largest customer in healthcare to negotiate better drug prices. He wants to see increased transparency across healthcare contracts, similar to what he's implementing in his businesses.
In essence, Cuban sees a path to positive impact through tackling inefficiencies and lack of transparency in industries like healthcare, even while expressing concern over the potential for unchecked power in the hands of tech elites and the unpredictable nature of AI's rapid evolution. He finds meaning in pursuing these ventures over more traditional paths to power and influence.

How can I get hold of mark cuban??? I need a job and may be he can help me gain my privacy back
Cuban PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT America needs a real billionaire entrepreneur!
We need Mark Cuban on climate change and energy restructuring solutions! I'm so glad he's working to flip healthcare. We need more Mark Cubans!! Clone this man!! 😀
I will never meet Mark, i will never speak to him, but if i had one question to ask him, what is the greatest shot you ever saw. Kawhi Leonard? Thank You for your care for the people that need those meds.
Mark cuban I would like to work with him. He stands for all humanity
I love how they keep calling it Twitter. Stop trying to make X happen, Elon 😂
Exactly what I’ve been saying. Musk just happens he’s rich. Why do people think he’s a genius? All the things that he says?
Still a billionaire. Eat. The. Rich.
Wow this was an amazing interview, Mark Cuban is the ideal entrepreneur based on his responses wow I didn’t know I would like him so much.
Jon (pretend to be against the mainstream media ) Stewart ahahahahhah
Mark is such a greedy evil little snake ,ya know he deleted a tweet where he admitted to being in the illuminati ,I am a christian so I see the truth behind this clown .
I'm a boomer, and NOT a Trump supporter
Stewart is factually wrong. X has a fraction of the reach of Facebook. A fraction.
The amount of news and discussion on Facebook just dwarfs it.
Active users, latest: X, 0.4 billion. Facebook, 3.05 billion. It's not even close.
Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion. Facebook is worth $1,338 billion. Not even close.
These guys are possibly the dumbest on the planet. The only thing that has changed on Twitter, (X) is freedom of speech has been basically restored and government, (FBI) interference has been eliminated.
what a lot of bull !!!!!
We should draft or conscript this guy to s political office hopefully as a democrat
Nail those PBMs Mark Cuban. You just made me a Mavs fan!!!!
Jon…. Let him talk,
Respect to both these men.
Ok, can someone correctly define "American Exceptionalism" for me? You got lucky during World War 2 because Russia did all the heavy lifting while you basically mass-produced weapons? See the opening scene from The Newsroom for further examples
I very much appreciate them both standing up!!!!!
I love this video however, we have two millionaires, talking and smiling and laughing while the main stream is that here, suffering
The only way for people to stop worshiping billionaires it’s to stop voting for billionaires and individuals who will feed the billionaires with more resources
When he first announced this there wasn't that many drugs available, but I checked today. THEY HAVE MY MOM'S MEDICATION!! I think this is great first step to change our broken healthcare system.
Jon, I think Taylor is the lefts favorite billionaire. Probable because of how much she donates to food banks &c in every city she performs.
Love that guy
How much does the Daily Show have in the makeup budget? These guys are painted up!
Cost Plus saved my life, even With insurance, my same drug was 80% leas expensive! 😊
