San Francisco, January 1: YouTube sensation Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast) has snubbed Elon Musk, saying his won’t upload his videos on X as doing so would not even fund a fraction of what he spends on making those videos. When famous X handle DogeDesigner asked MrBeast to upload his latest video on X too, and Musk said ‘yeah’, the YouTuber replied it is not possible.

"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 replied to Musk. “I’m down though to test stuff once monetisation is really cranking,” said MrBeast, who calls himself X Super Official CEO. A follower commented: “He told Elon ‘You cant afford me lil bro’. DogeDesigner again requested MrBeast to post his videos on both YouTube and X.

An X user replied: “It would hurt the views on YouTube which would normally make him money to find the videos. Posting on both is a terrible option at scale it’s splitting your own market share”. “Plus the video user interface here is missing a lot of options that YouTube has,” another X user posted.
