As such, many are confounded as to why Cuban would keep company with Bannon, a man linked to the alt-right movement.
One theory is that the two were discussing business, as they have had professional dealings in the past and Cuban has spoken well of Bannon's intelligence.
In August, Cuban tweeted, "Steve Bannon is smart. Far far smarter than trump. Trump lives in the moment. Steve will have a plan."
