- Elon Musk’s ire this year has extended from Mark Zuckerberg to MacKenzie Scott.
- The mercurial billionaire has often fired insults and traded barbs at his contemporaries on X.
- “I have fun sparring with Elon. He likes to troll and so do I,” Mark Cuban told BI.
Elon Musk runs half a dozen companies, but the work involved in keeping the Muskonomy humming hasn’t stopped him from beefing with his fellow billionaires this year.
His platform of choice for trading barbs, firing insults, and sharing generally unfiltered thoughts is X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which he bought in late 2022.
“Have I shot myself in the foot multiple times? Yes,” Musk said of his posting habits in an April 2023 interview with BBC’s James Clayton.
“I think I should not tweet after 3:00 a.m. If you’re gonna tweet something that maybe is controversial, save it as a draft, then look at it the next day and see if you still want to tweet it,” he added.
To be sure, Musk’s history of fights stretches way further back than 2024, and not everyone he trades barbs with takes it personally.
“I have fun sparring with Elon. He likes to troll and so do I,” Mark Cuban told BI on Monday. “I have no issues with him.”
Here’s a non-exhaustive list of the billionaires Musk has fought with in 2024.
Representatives for Musk didn’t respond to a request for comment from BI for this story.
