Elon Musk defends MrBeast amid criticism for video helping deaf people WikiMedia Commons\/MrBeastElon Musk has stepped in to defend Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson after the YouTube star came under fire for his newest charity video where he helped 1000 deaf people hear again. Over the last few years, MrBeast has taken over YouTube with his increasingly-wild videos, as he\u2019s given fans and friends the opportunities to star in them and win some big money and prizes. The charitable side of his videos is something he\u2019s been increasingly tapping into, launching his Beast Philanthropy charity that uses the money made by his other YouTube channels to be able to help others. Though, the YouTuber has come under fire for some of the charity-focused videos he\u2019s made, with many claiming it\u2019s not really charity if he\u2019s making it so public despite the fact he\u2019s helping some really worthy causes. Elon Musk defends MrBeast\u2019s charity video The YouTuber\u2019s newest charitable video \u2013 where he helps 1000 deaf people with their hearing \u2013 has been criticized because of the thumbnail. \u201cThis is nice and all, but why does Mr. Beast\u2019s thumbnail editor feel the need to have his hand clutching a child\u2019s shoulder as he grins ominously behind them???\u201d quizzed one critic. As that criticism got a bit more widespread, Elon Musk even stepped in to defend the YouTube star. \u201cPeople definitely shouldn\u2019t be attacked for doing good. Is it really just a question of money to restore hearing?\u201d the Twitter owner tweeted. \u201cI\u2019m always looking (for) ways to donate money that are actually good. Perhaps this is one. It is very hard to donate money if you about it doing actual good, not merely the appearance of it.\u201d Fans of the YouTuber have also stepped in to defend him amid the criticisms, suggesting they don\u2019t really make any sense. Jimmy himself hasn\u2019t said anything, but he did when his video about providing shoes did come under fire. So, we\u2019ll have to wait and see if he says anything this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
