For the past couple of months, MrBeast has shaken the internet with his business deals. He ventured into multiple companies, starting a business empire of his own. First, he got his hands in the chocolate industry by inaugurating his brand Feastables. His ‘chocolaty’ idea broke the system as it skyrocketed right from the start. Through that, Jimmy churned a massive revenue, almost clocking over $10 million in January 2022.

While that was going well for him, he decided to scale his burger business by going public. Initially, his brand operated as a cloud service, limiting customers to feast on their burgers from the comfort of their homes. But then, Jimmy felt why not just open a physical store and scale the business?
This led to the inauguration of his first store at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. Just like his chocolate brand success, MrBeast received tremendous responses at his burger outlet. However, Jimmy decided to focus more on Feastables as that seemed to be his personal favorite.
Recently, the Senator of Vermont voiced his opinion on the chocolate industry, talking about how much it had surged in the past five years. However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had a differing opinion on the topic, as one could see in his reply. This quickly caught the attention of the 100-million subscribed YouTuber as he responded to them with an interesting marketing knack.
MrBeast backs Elon Musk and Bernie Sanders amidst their ‘chocolate’ industry conversation
On October 22, 2022, the Senator of Vermont uploaded a tweet talking about a brand in the chocolate industry. He laid down some numbers proving how much the industry had jumped from scratch, making massive profits in the past few years.
Here’s what he said, “While the cost of Halloween candy has surged more than 13.1% since last September, the Mars candy bar family became 44% richer during the pandemic increasing their wealth by $32.6 billion. The Mars family is now worth $106.8 billion. Do you know what’s scary? Corporate greed.”

Although there could be more R&D in candy tbh. Feels like there hasn’t been much improvement in decades.

The post caught Elon Musk’s attention, who then had a differing opinion as he felt that the chocolate industry had been stagnant. Musk said that there could be much more research and development giving scope to the industry to improve. However, with little desired effort, the industry had a long way to go.
