Billionaire Mark Cuban faced tough questions from former Fox News host Tucker Carlson during a live stage conversation about aid to Ukraine. Cuban, who says half his family is Ukrainian, argued that the US should provide more support to the country. “They need it. Half my family is Ukrainian. We should help,” he said. When Carlson asked how much Cuban had personally sent, the billionaire admitted he had given nothing. Carlson responded, “So what do you mean by ‘we’? Your family is Ukrainian. Why don’t you send them a billion?” Cuban replied that he was focused on domestic issues like healthcare. Carlson pressed the point, suggesting that if Cuban truly believed in helping Ukraine, he should lead by example.“If you’re like so deep, if you think we need to help, why don’t you start? How about you first? I noticed that’s never like even an option for anybody. It’s like, we need to help. That’s not what charity is. Forcing other people to help is not charity, it’s vanity,” Carlson said The exchange went viral online, with viewers noting Cuban’s admission of not sending money personally despite advocating for aid, and Carlson’s critique of what he described as performative support.
