YouTube King, MrBeast, and Twitter CEO, Elon Musk have been known to partake in banter online. Now, with a new and seemingly creator-friendly model that is being introduced on Twitter, people can subscribe to their favorite creators.
Sharing a screenshot of his subscribers, MrBeast revealed Elon Musk to be one of his subscribers. The now-viral tweet has had massive reach and the joke that Musk is paying $5 a month to MrBeast has reached millions.
MrBeast jokes Elon Musk pays him $5 a month
In the tweet, MrBeast said: “Elon Musk is now paying me $5 a month, who’s really in charge now.” For the unversed, Twitter CEO Musk announced a few policy changes that received a lot of backlash. However, this policy change in revenue sharing with the creators was recently added and was welcomed by many.
MrBeast had also reacted to the ad revenue-sharing Tweet by Musk with a “Woah :0”. However, Musk added a clause to this and said creators “must be a subscriber to Twitter Blue Verified.” MrBeast had earlier criticized Musk’s policy of cross-promotion of social media platforms and said it would have huge impact on the reach that creators have because of Twitter. One of the other most criticized policies on Twitter has also been the $8 that people have to now pay for the Blue Tick.
“Can I be the CEO of Twitter?”
In one of their previous interactions, MrBeast asked Elon Musk if he could become the CEO of Twitter. To this, Musk replied it is not out of the question. The context for this interaction was that Musk asked if he should step down as the CEO of his newly acquired platform.
Adding to his Tweet, Musk said that he will just run the software and servers team.
Fans of the YouTuber seemed to be on board with Musk’s reply and vouched for the content creator/philanthropist. Tweeting the screenshot of the interaction, MrBeast also told audiences what changes he would make to the platform if he becomes the CEO.
