Billionaire investor Mark Cuban cautioned Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Sunday against forming an alliance with former President Donald Trump, because, he said, the Republican presidential nominee may not ultimately repay his political debts.
"Elon, there will come a time when you need something from Donald Trump," Cuban wrote in an X post to his fellow billionaire.
Trump, Cuban believes, might not follow through on that exchange for Musk.
Earlier this month, Trump endorsed the government efficiency commission idea and suggested Musk could be a "good one" to lead it.
But the Republican nominee hedged that Musk, a busy CEO of multiple companies, might not have the time for the job, but that he could "consult."
