fuck elon
Damn, I thought I was on r/funny for a second then I remembered reddit didn't exist
Eh.. mr Beast is a "your people get in touch with my people" kind of guy, and by people I mean lawyers talking about money.
Please clap
he's already begging
putting earnings equal to youtube... lol
i mean sure, it sounds great
but... their site is utter shit, if you use it as a video-consumption media...
Elone will surely pay content creators. He just doesn't like to pay anyone else.

One could ask them: „How come you're not posting on our platform? Can we improve anything?”
Or you can go the Elon Musk way.
Is it PR/purely for publicity? Is it a spontaneous thought posted as a Tweet? Is it an offer with public visibility for increased impact? Is it underhanded trying to get more publishers to join the platform? Is it desperate try to get them or anyone as a publisher? It's certainly ambiguous and unprofessional. But that's nothing new.
Very pathetic Elon. It will not make any sense to the man who build an empire on YouTube to post videos on Twitter or any other social media. It's not about the money, it's about braniding. Mr Beast is a Youtube icon. And it would not be a suprise I'd they have some contracts with YouTube.
If Elon wants to compete he needs to focus on new talents who use Twitter as their main and only plataform, similar to what Twitch does. Probably he should give Vines a second chance. I think it was Twitter error to close it. Now shorts and streaming are on demand.
Trying to steal other platforms talents is just nonsense.
can i haz some eyeballs uwu

I get why people are doubtful about Musk. I just wanna see YouTube's monopoly broken and streamers/entertainers get their due. I do not like how YouTube treats content creators. Maybe a competitive alternative is a good thing.
Given that Twitter's already relatively tiny user base is dwindling, the platform is now account-walled, and Musk is a notorious liar, I doubt any prominent creators are going to even consider cross-posting to Twitter.
A competitive alternative would be great, but Twitter isn't going to be it.

Even if Mr beast posted his videos on Twitter I doubt it would make a difference. Why would people come to Twitter just to watch his vids?
Eww...the smell of desperation.
