Mark Cuban, the outspoken billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, helped power Twitter to large gains in stock price Tuesday, after an announcement that he would be purchasing a hefty number of shares in the social media company.
When the stock market closed Tuesday, the price of Twitter stock had gone up 4% to $18.24, a big jump for the company that has never made a profit.
“My biggest holdings are Amazon, which I think is the leader in the space, and Netflix for video, and I started buying Twitter recently because I think they finally got their act together on artificial intelligence,” Cuban said on CNBC’s Squawk Alley.
Twitter has seen a week full of good news that has pushed up its stock price. On Monday, shares for the company increased 7% in price after it was revealed that CEO Jack Dorsey and ex-New York mayor Michael Bloomberg would partner to create a 24/7 news channel.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
