Overview

• Popular YouTuber MrBeast has uploaded his first full video on X, a social media platform owned by Elon Musk, to test its ad revenue generation capabilities.
• MrBeast, known for his philanthropic ventures and challenges on YouTube, has over 230 million subscribers and his videos reportedly cost millions to make.
• Previously, MrBeast had expressed skepticism about X's ability to generate sufficient ad revenue, stating that even a billion views on X wouldn't fund a fraction of his production costs.
• Elon Musk has been actively trying to attract content creators to X, which he acquired in 2022 and has since rebranded and introduced changes to its monetization policy.
• The results of MrBeast's experiment, which will be revealed in a week, could potentially influence other content creators' decisions to post on X.
