Pippen has criticized Michael Jordan for remaining 'diplomatic' and avoiding political stances to protect his brand, suggesting that Jordan was 'not a politician' and failed to use his platform for social issues.

In late 2024, Pippen posted on social media expressing a desire for Elon Musk to have been part of the 1990s Chicago Bulls, signaling high regard for the billionaire who became a central figure in the 2024 Trump campaign and MAGA movement.
Notes: The post was widely interpreted by sports media as a nod to Musk's disruptive leadership style.

Pippen launched a successful NFT collection in late 2022. Media outlets noted that his collection sold out faster than Donald Trump's 'Digital Trading Cards' which launched around the same time.
Notes: The comparison was made by media outlets; Pippen did not personally attack Trump during the launch.

While primarily a commercial endorsement, Pippen's public alignment with LIV Golf—a frequent flashpoint in the culture war between traditional sports institutions and Trump-aligned disruptors—serves as a moderate signal of comfort with MAGA-adjacent ventures.
