PANews reported on October 23 that according to Jinshi, American billionaire businessman Mark Cuban said that he had tried to arrange a private meeting between Elon Musk and US Vice President Harris, but Harris' team refused. Cuban said that the meeting failed because "they thought Musk would not be able to keep the conversation private." "What he said about Harris was too outrageous, and I thought it would be good for them to talk," Cuban said of Musk. Cuban said that if Harris won the election, he would still try to arrange a conversation between Harris and Musk because he is one of the "best entrepreneurs." Cuban added that the move was "not for political purposes, but for common sense."
