MrBeast sides with Elon Musk\u2019s criticism of \u201chatestream\u201d mainstream media YouTube: IMPAULSIVE, PewDiePieYouTube star MrBeast is siding with Elon Musk as the Tesla CEO hits out at negativity from mainstream media outlets in a string of tweets. Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is one of YouTube\u2019s biggest stars. The content creator is best known for his ambitious, big-budget videos and million-dollar, high stakes challenges. He\u2019s also big on philanthropy. The YouTuber \u2014 who boasts 90 million subscribers on his main channel \u2014 has founded his very own charity, funded completely by YouTube views, to help feed his local community. Despite his accomplishments with such feats as #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas (where he planted 20 million trees and raised $30 million to clean the world\u2019s oceans), MrBeast is no stranger to earning criticism over his every move. Most recently, MrBeast garnered backlash over his record-breaking rendition of Netflix\u2019s Squid Game, facing accusations of plagiarism and criticisms of \u201ccheapening\u201d the creator\u2019s hard work. (It\u2019s worth noting that Hwang Dong-hyuk actually gave MrBeast his express approval for the video in an interview.) Now, it looks like MrBeast is shading the retaliation he gets in a surprising Twitter conversation with none other than Tesla\u2019s Elon Musk. MrBeast hits back at criticism and sides with Elon Musk On February 8, 2022, Elon Musk hit out at mainstream media outlets on Twitter, writing: \u201cWhy is the \u2018traditional\u2019 media such a relentless hatestream? Real question.\u201d MrBeast replied some time after the tweet was posted, appearing to agree with Musk and even offering up his own experiences as a top-tier influencer. \u201cBro, I could literally feed a million people and they wouldn\u2019t care in the slightest, but the second I slip up and do something wrong, they\u2019ll pounce all over it lmao,\u201d Donaldson wrote.

It doesn\u2019t seem to be slowing him down though, as he just unleashed his own line of chocolate bars with a chance for buyers to earn a Willy Wonka experience at his chocolate factory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
