Mark Cuban Says He Wants To Buy X (Twitter) and Fox News

Mark Cuban recently expressed interest in buying Fox News and X (Twitter) during an interview with Wired's Lauren Goode. Cuban, known for his role on "Shark Tank," admitted that while he finds the idea appealing, the financial and ownership challenges make these acquisitions unlikely. He estimated that Fox News could cost between $15 billion to $20 billion, a sum he currently can't afford.

Cuban also voiced frustration with Elon Musk’s leadership of X, citing dissatisfaction with the platform’s new direction since its rebranding. Despite his critiques, Cuban enjoys a playful rivalry with Musk. As of now, neither Fox News nor X has commented on his statements.

Mark Rober Slams Hinge for Deleting His Profile

YouTuber Mark Rober has publicly criticized Hinge after his profile was repeatedly deleted for allegedly impersonating himself. Despite presenting proof of his identity, Rober's attempts to resolve the issue with Hinge’s support team have been unsuccessful. He took to X (Twitter) on September 15th, 2024, to express his frustration with the dating app.

Rober, who boasts nearly 60 million YouTube subscribers, highlighted his ongoing struggle in a viral post. He pointed out that Hinge’s actions have led to his profile being removed multiple times despite his efforts to verify his identity. The situation has caught the attention of his fans and the broader social media community, with Twitch star Pokimane noting that Rober’s experience is “unfortunately relatable” due to her own issues with dating apps. Hinge has yet to respond to the criticism.

Pokimane Reveals Why She Stayed on Twitch Despite YouTube's Massive Offer

Pokimane recently shared her decision to decline a significant offer from YouTube and remain with Twitch during an interview on the Sweet ‘n’ Sour podcast with LilyPichu. Despite the "life-changing" financial offer from YouTube in early 2024, Pokimane chose to stay with Twitch after a successful negotiation led by her agent, who secured a matching offer from the platform.

Pokimane detailed that the YouTube deal was exceptionally generous, but her commitment to Twitch and maintaining her integrity influenced her final decision. Although YouTube made a further improved offer, Pokimane remained loyal to Twitch, emphasizing her desire to honor her initial commitment. As of January 2024, Pokimane is no longer exclusively tied to Twitch.

Jake Paul Sneaks Into UFC 306 with Disguise Despite Ban

Jake Paul recently managed to attend UFC 306 in a surprising stunt, despite being banned from UFC events. Known for his boxing career and public feuds, Paul had been barred from UFC venues by Dana White in 2022.

On September 15th, 2024, Paul used a disguise to bypass the ban and support his friend Sean O’Malley at the event. Paul, who documented his stunt on Instagram, wore a long wig, sunglasses, and a grey beard to appear older and evade security. His disguise worked, allowing him to mingle with fans, including content creator Adin Ross, without being recognized. The UFC and Dana White have yet to comment on the incident, which has sparked interest and amusement among fans.
