With over 233M subscribers, Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2018 Donaldson is the world\u2019s biggest single YouTuber and doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s slowing down anytime soon. His latest video, $1 Car vs $100,000,000 Car, was uploaded onto Twitter\/X in its entirety after MrBeast was influenced by CEO Elon Musk to see how many views one of his videos would do on the site. However, the MrBeast clip has been accused of being an \u201cundisclosed ad\u201d to inflate views as people are seeing it show up in their timelines more than usual. MrBeast\u2019s Twitter\/X video views may be inflated In the days after the video was uploaded, many took notice of the fact that they saw MrBeast\u2019s tweet on the timeline more than usual. One user, Ryan Broderick, said that he\u2019s heard several reports of the video being shown in the timeline more often than not. \u201cMrBeast\u2019s video is clearly being promoted as an undisclosed ad across the platform to juice its numbers,\u201d he said. Many others took to their pages to share the same thoughts, including YouTuber Roman Atwood. \u201cThis is being served to me every time I open the app,\u201d he said.
