Mark Cuban Vs. Carl Icahn: Billionaires Feud Over Trump, Clinton

Mark Cuban took some exception to Carl Icahn's stance on the economy.

On July 31, Cuban endorsed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in her quest to win the 2016 Presidential election. He has since called out Trump several times, even calling him "bat s--t crazy."

Last week, Icahn Tweeted about Clinton's economic policy speech, saying, "How do you "unleash the power of corporations" if you do nothing about the strangulating regulations, which she said zero about."

Cuban shot back Monday morning, responding to Icahn, "sure hasnt stopped you from investing in companies Carl, has it? Regs can improve, no doubt, but trump plan is a disaster."

Icahn responded, saying, "[I]t sure has stopped me and thousands of others from making capital investments in companies... Cap spending is way down b/c companies r worried about onerous regs - which is diminishing productivity & our ability to compete."

Cuban fired back, "I get you are huge in energy and that sucks right now. But can you think of the bigger picture? ... You know you wouldn't hire @realDonaldTrump unless you were short the company." Cuban asked why Icahn picks the most regulated industries to invest in, specifically using energy and American International Group Inc AIG as examples.

Regarding Icahn's bearish stance on the market, Cuban said, "it's because he thinks trump could win. If I ever think Trump can win I go 200pct short."

Back in May, it was revealed via Icahn Enterprises 10-Q that Icahn has a 149 percent net short position.
