Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, is currently one of the biggest names on YouTube. With over 112 million subscribers, Jimmy has taken the crown from PewDiePie for the title of the biggest independent Creator on YouTube. He has been on the online content creation scene for quite a while. For that reason, he is well aware of the ins and outs of the business.
That’s why when billionaire Elon Musk proposed plans on dipping his toes in the field, with the help of his newly acquired online platform, Twitter, Jimmy couldn’t help but share some of his thoughts regarding the plans and shared some helpful tips with Elon Musk.
On November 22, 2022, Elon shared “another all-time high” record of daily users on Twitter. He posted a chart with the caption, “Twitter added 1.6M daily active users this past week, another all-time high.” Seeing the statistics, MrBeast replied, “I wonder what YouTube’s daily actives is.”
Continuing the thread, Elon added, “Let’s see what happens when Twitter offers good video with higher compensation for creators …” Seeing this upcoming opportunity, many content creators, including MrBeast, shared their honest thoughts about what Elon Musk could do to make this a reality.

Big YouTube stars such as MrBeast, KSI, and more shares their tips and opinion on Elon Musk’s plans
YouTube’s big guy MrBeast gave a reality check to Musk by saying, “Higher compensation will be hard, some YouTubers get $20+ rpms even after YouTube takes their cut. I’d be shocked if you crack that code.” Colin and Samir added, “this might be an audience expectation problem to start…meaning audiences come to twitter for quick hits, content they can consume fast (text). Short form content maybe but feels like it would take time for audience behavior to include watching long-form video.”
Even the star of the tech YouTube Marques Brownlee offered help by saying, “But I can also think of quite a few creators who’d be willing to try to help make it happen.” And then there was KSI, who was just surprised to see that there are people who are making absurd amounts of profits. As he replied to MrBeast’s comment by saying, “Who Tf is getting $20 CPMs?!?!?!???”
