"We will see," Cuban told Business Insider in an email.
Cuban was responding to a question that stemmed from his Sunday back-and-forth with President Donald Trump, who tweeted that he did not believe Cuban was "smart enough" to run for the nation's highest office.
Cuban fired back three tweets to Trump, initially writing just "Lol." In that string of tweets, the owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and star of ABC's "Shark Tank" posted a pair of emails he sent to Trump.

One of the emails made public by Cuban contained an interesting line regarding his potential future candidacy, which has been speculated on for years. In it, Cuban suggested he "may go after that job someday and it could be against [Trump]."
Cuban said early on in the 2016 presidential campaign that he was considering a future White House bid, but he later shot the idea down several times. At the first presidential debate in late September, Cuban said there was "no possible way" he'd run.
