Cuban’s tweet follows an interview with CNBC on Friday in which he said President Donald Trump and his administration do not understand technology advancements.
“I’m willing to bet that these companies building new plants … this will lead to fewer people being employed,” Cuban told CNBC, adding that “people aren’t going to have jobs.”
