Elon Musk's most recent attempt to persuade the most popular YouTuber in the world to join his platform was quickly rejected. The most popular YouTuber, Mr Beast, turned down the businessman's request to post his viral videos to X. He further stated that the social media platform wouldn't bring in "a fraction" of the money the mogul makes from the Google-owned platform.
The YouTuber also claimed that the money was absurd. The reason behind the rejection was Mr. Beast's conviction that X would fall short of YouTube, which is owned by Google, in revenue generation, even if Elon Musk had grand plans to create a one-stop app.
This entire feud spanked the reaction of the netizens. When Mr. Beast himself uploaded a status on X (formerly known as Twitter), the news of the disagreement went viral. However, this entire thing left the internet users divided. Some supported Mr. Beast in his decision, while others think Elon Musk was right.
Social media users left divided over Mr Beast’s rejection of Elon Musk’s request

According to Mr. Beast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, the website of the wealthiest individual on the planet pales in comparison when it comes to generating revenue, especially when compared to the immense earnings of YouTube. He mentioned:
“My videos cost millions to make, and even if they got a billion views on X, it wouldn’t fund a fraction of it,” Donaldson responded to Elon Musk
On Saturday, December 30, he uploaded his latest video for my 224 million subscribers. The 25-year-old online sensation then announced to his X followers with a post that said:
“I uploaded, go watch or I’ll drop kick you.”
The 25-year-old Mr. Beast released his most recent video to his enormous YouTube fan base last weekend. Even with the hype, DogeDesigner, an X user, encouraged him to think about posting to the site as well. Musk himself added his voice, saying he wanted to make X the "everything app."
This entire online battle garnered the interest of the fans and the netizens. They took to the comment section of Mr Beasts’ post, which he uploaded, voicing his opinion regarding the same, and expressed their opinion. However, it mainly was divided. Some sided others with Musk in this case.
