#422 – Mark Cuban: Shark Tank, DEI & Wokeism Debate, Elon Musk, Politics & Drugs

Right. Everybody gets labeled, right? Because that works on social media. Look, if Elon changed the algorithm... Just by taking himself out of it? Seriously, I'm not saying don't post, right? Post all you want. But if you look at his followers... they're almost all right-leaning. If you look at the people he engages with positively, they're almost all right-leaning.

And if you look at the people he engages with negatively, like me, right, I consider myself an independent, but I lean left on the DEI topic, right? That influences the algorithm. And so you see what you see because of what he says.

Right, but I think they call it the nearest neighbor approach, and I think that's what they do. And so whoever has the biggest account has the most neighbors who in turn have their neighbors who in turn have their neighbors, and that's how they discern what comes next.

When you get a break, just create a burner account on Twitter and see who they recommend to you. Elon. And not just Elon. I mean, the people that Elon likes. And I'm saying that's not Elon saying, add this person, add this person, and suggest this person, this person, this person. I'm saying that's what the algorithm is. Yeah, there should be transparency around that for sure. There is. There is.

And that's the whole point, right? He knows there's transparency and he knows the impact. That's why when I say take yourself out of the algorithm, right? don't include his account, that changes, I think, the output of the algorithm.

He wasn't, but still, even like the Kim Kardashian accounts, whatever, right? Yeah. I don't, it wasn't open source to Elon's credit. It is now, so I couldn't see it to know, right? So I didn't get the sense one way or the other of one element being dominant over the other. But obviously conservatives felt that left-leaning was more dominant back then.
