Mark Cuban, a billionaire investor, stated on Sunday that he has no intention of seeking a White House cabinet position, despite actively supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in her campaign against former President Donald Trump.

"Cuban stated in an interview on ABC's "This Week" that he has no interest in being a politician of any type or serving in the cabinet for Kamala Harris or anyone else. Instead, he enjoys being a disruptor as an entrepreneur."

As a Harris campaign surrogate, Cuban's comment appeared to contradict his earlier remarks, suggesting that he may be seeking a government position.

In September, the former "Shark Tank" host expressed his desire to replace Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, whom he has been highly critical of.

In an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box" in September, Cuban stated, "I informed my team to include my name for the SEC. There must be a change."

Despite not donating money to Harris, Cuban has become more active on the campaign trail, advocating for the Democratic presidential nominee in interviews and rallies.

Cuban has occasionally injected his own policy visions for a hypothetical Harris administration, especially on corporate regulation, while stumping for her.

Lina Khan, the face of a consumer-focused antitrust agenda, should be fired by the vice president if she wins the White House, as suggested by Cuban earlier this month.

Cuban stated to Semafor that in his opinion, Khan's efforts to break up Big Tech companies are not helping, but rather causing more harm.
