      Don’t worry Zuck will follow suit. And if you make content and it does bring in revenue to you, why not leach extra money out of the 3 biggest tax dodgers!

      He is getting exactly what he wants everyone is talking about him, why do I want to be reminded everyday about how he is?

    I didn’t realize anyone earned anything on Twitter ever. Is this just video views? Is this new?

    Also, fuck Musk, etc.

    With what money, Elon? You can’t afford to pay Google or office rent but you’re going to pay Mr. Beast?

      Mr Beast will always have money if he does it though, even if he loses all his other money he’ll still have an unpaid debt from Pissbaby Musk.

      He’s perfectly capable of paying both. He doesn’t want to, and because he’s rich, he doesn’t have to. There is a reason billionaires end up with so much money, and fairly compensating other parties isn’t it.

        They don’t have to rip other people off, they just choose to. I had a girlfriend whose family was quite wealthy… she loved shopping at the dollar store, and her mother acted overwhelmed with glee when she found a dozen past-date eggs for .65 at the grocery store. Is that how they became wealthy? Fuck no, they inherited a hotel.

    Fuck Musk. He should do us all a favour and go suck on the tail end of one of “his” rockets.

    How is he going to be able to handle more videos when he has to ration text views because it’s melting his servers.

    Interesting that he would try to use the potential number of views as a selling point while also publicly decimating the reach of Twitter posts lol

    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.

    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.
