BREAKING: Mark Cuban Forced to Apologize After Accidentally Buying Reddit

DALLAS, TX — In what tech insiders are calling the most “Shark Tank fail of 2024,” billionaire Mark Cuban issued a formal apology today after accidentally acquiring the entirety of Reddit, Inc. during a routine late-night browsing session.

According to sources close to the mogul, Cuban was allegedly trying to comment on a meme about GameStop when he “tripped” over his Wi-Fi router, triggering an ultra-secret, high-frequency trading algorithm named “Auto-Karen.”

“I was just trying to call a moderator a cuck,” Cuban reportedly said in a press release. “I don’t know how my phone bought 100% of the shares. I just wanted to upvote a cat picture.”

The acquisition has caused chaos on the r/WallStreetBets subreddit, where users are now demanding that Cuban personally ban “paper hands” and implement a mandatory diamond-hand emoji policy for all login screens. Meanwhile, the mods of r/AmITheAsshole are in emergency session, debating whether Cuban is the asshole for accidentally becoming the sole owner of a platform that roasted him for his “Squawk Box” hairline.

Wall Street analysts are baffled. “We’ve never seen a hostile takeover happen via a mobile app while the buyer was in the bathroom,” said one confused Goldman Sachs analyst.

At press time, Cuban was seen frantically trying to sell the site to a bewildered Kevin O’Leary for a single, slightly wrinkled dollar, while Reddit users flooded his inbox with demands for free awards and the immediate release of the “server-side Save button.”

The memo, apparently, was not a euphemism.
