X - MrBeast Is Testing Ad Revenue On Elon Musk's X After Saying Twitter Compensation 'Wouldn't Fund A Fraction' Of Videos He Makes | Benzinga
Days after sharing the reason why he continues to upload videos on Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (GOOGL) YouTube and not Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), content creator Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast has re-uploaded a video directly on the tech billionaire’s platform as a testing subject.
What Happened: On the weekend, MrBeast took to X and posted his video titled “$1 Car vs $100,000,000 Car!!!” on the microblogging site, saying that he is curious about “how much ad revenue a video on X would make.”
The YouTuber informed his 25.3 million followers on the platform that he would share the ad revenue the next week.
Musk was quick to spot MrBeast’s post and shared it on the platform, saying, “First MrBeast video posted directly on 𝕏!”
