Bonus #208 - MrBeast Snubs Elon Musk (Extra Dose)

Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day, and before we get to today's video, just wanted to let you know that this Saturday (well, Friday for you!) it's the semi-new annual January tradition where I tear apart the Billboard Hot 100's Annual Top 10. As for today, we have a real "Alien vs Predator" situation, as two of my least favorite Internet personalities clash, but in this case, no matter who loses, we win! Enjoy!
Elon Musk wants "X" (you know, Twitter, the thing everyone will forever call Twitter and never call it his favorite dumb letter?) to be more than just for doomscrolling short text messages and memes. He wants people to upload video content! And so, he's recently asked MrBeast to start posting his videos on the former bird site. And MrBeast basically told him the same thing that Elon told advertisers, just slightly nicer. Buckley looks at why creators wouldn't want to post videos on X, and why Elon doesn't understand.

Yeah I saw that, he uploaded an older video to see the result. And yes, I absolutely believe Musk will do the same thing he did at the beginning of "monetization", give big accounts a bonus to make it look lucrative. He also retweeted the video of course to boost it further (though funny enough, the ads in Elon's replies would technically generate money for him, not MrBeast)

That ending joke was fantastic

well, MrBeast now uploaded one of his videos to Twitter because he wants to "see the results after a week". How much do you wanna bet elon's gonna give him like a million dollars or something and pretend like its a natural payout?

I still love the Tron reference whenever you mention the YouTube algorithm 😂

Pissing off Elon Musk is a bit like pissing off Andy Bernard in "The Office": if he explodes, it will be dangerous for everyone ^^

He did at one point. Elon also recently suspended a bunch of people who were critical of him, and then the next day posted that "not being able to accept criticism is a sign of weakness". That guy is so soft they should make toilet paper out of him.

Did that kid who posted Elon's flight info on Twitter get booted after Elon took over? That's the only way I can potentially justify it.
