Billionaire Mark Cuban got roasted online Monday after making peace with President Donald Trump in a joint effort to lower prescription drug prices.
Cuban joined Trump and other administration officials Monday afternoon at the White House complex's South Court Auditorium, as the President announced an expansion of his 'TrumpRx' website to include 600 generic drugs.
The Shark Tank alum had traded barbs with Trump during the 2024 election, when he was campaigning for the President's Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
'Well, he made a mistake, it was a big mistake,' Trump said, laughing, when asked about Cuban's endorsement of Harris.
Online, users suggested Cuban's mistake was aligning himself with the Republican.
'Just want to point out that Cuban was happy to fight Donald Trump until he could personally benefit from working with him,' X user Morrie-Moto added.
The TrumpRX platform will link to Cuban's company, Cost Plus Drugs.
'Like seeing Mark Cuban become a human sofa cushion as Trump reveals his plot to pay J6ers with [our] tax money,' X user The Angry Czeck noted.

During a brief Q&A, Trump was asked if he was OK with January 6 participants who attacked Capitol Police officers benefiting from the Department of Justice's newly announced $1.7 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.'
Trump didn't answer the question directly, saying, 'It will be dependent on a committee.'
He also said he knew 'very little about it.'
'But this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated,' Trump said. 'They've been weaponized, they've been, in some cases, imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have, they've gone bankrupt, their lives have been destroyed and they turned out to be right.'
Cuban stood alongside Trump during the Q&A period.
'Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers,' left-leaning journalist Aaron Rupar commented. 'This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump - you end up disgracing yourself.'
But Cuban seemed perfectly comfortable with the new allegiance, batting away political questions from reporters afterward.
'I'm not going into my politics at all,' he answered when asked if he regretted supporting Harris.

He said the same when asked by the Daily Mail if he still wanted to see the Democrats take back the House and the Senate.
'My politics don't matter to this at all,' he replied.
As for the tough words he had about Trump in the past, he shrugged them off.
'Yeah, that was last season, right?' he said. 'What you say during an election cycle is obviously going to be completely different, but now the goal is the goal.'
Cuban, who played the part of the President in the movie Sharknado 3: Oh H*** No!, did have a definitive answer when asked if he was still toying with a presidential run himself.
'H*** no,' he answered.
He said his legacy would be in reducing the price of healthcare.
'Nobody likes it, everybody thinks it sucks, and if I can take something that makes everybody's life more miserable and more stressful and f*** it up. I'm in,' Cuban said.
