ALBAWABA - In a trend where major content creators are changing platforms for financial reasons, YouTube's largest channel, MrBeast, recently turned down a significant offer from none other than Elon Musk himself to produce content on the X platform.
Elon Musk extended an offer to MrBeast to create content on X, urging him to leave YouTube. However, MrBeast rejected the proposal, asserting that the offered amount by Musk could never surpass the revenue potential he enjoys on YouTube.
With a whopping subscriber count exceeding 225 million, MrBeast, often considered the king of YouTube, made it clear that Musk's proposed compensation was insufficient to justify a platform switch.
This decision stemmed from MrBeast's belief that, despite Musk's desire to make X an all-encompassing application, YouTube's high-earning portfolio, owned by Google, remains unparalleled.
Last weekend, Jimmy Donaldson, the 25-year-old behind MrBeast, uploaded his latest video for his massive YouTube following. Despite its considerable impact, an X user urged him to consider streaming on the platform. Musk himself intervened, expressing his desire to turn the platform into an "everything app."
