GET MUSKED
MrBeast has had a back-and-forth relationship with Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X, formerly known as Twitter.
Late last year, the influencer rejected Musk’s request to upload his videos on X, saying the platform wouldn’t pay as much as YouTube.
“My videos cost millions to make and even if they got a billion views on X, it wouldn’t fund a fraction of it :/,” MrBeast wrote.
“I’m down though to test stuff once monetization is really cranking!”
However, MrBeast soon began uploading videos to X earlier this year with Musk quickly consigning the post.
“First MrBeast video posted directly on X!” he wrote.
A week later, MrBeast revealed that he made more than $250,000 in revenue from uploading the clip on X.
But he added that these numbers didn’t reflect how much other creators would make from posting videos on the platform.
“It’s a bit of a facade. Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think) and thus my revenue per view is prob higher than what you’d experience,” he wrote.
He has since continued to upload videos on X as he tests how monetization works on the platform.
