Elon Musk is currently on the quest to rebrand Twitter to X. The multi-billionaire is revamping the whole Twitter experience and is looking to add more features to the social media platform. However, this move from Elon Musk has raised a dilemma for Twitter’s self-proclaimed Super Official CEO MrBeast aka James Stephen Donaldson.
The YouTuber is currently on a streak of successful videos, with each one breaking the record of the last. Furthermore, his other business venture, Feastables, is also a formidable competitor in the US and the UK chocolate sector. Although YouTuber also wants to add Twitter to his portfolio in the future, the current rebranding of the social media platform might be a hindrance.

In the past, Elon Musk and MrBeast had a public discussion on the future of Twitter. In early May of 2022, Musk expressed his appreciation for having a connection with MrBeast in case he dies due to a mysterious scenario. Post that, James inquired of Musk whether he could assume ownership of the platform under such circumstances. To which Musk responded with a simple “Ok,” leaving the fans scratching their heads.
While the 25-year-old hoped to get ownership of Twitter one day, Musk rebranded it to X. This move confused the YouTuber, who recently enquired Musk, “Now that Twitter is called X, does that nullify our agreement?”

This simple question from MrBeast has since gone viral on the platform, gaining over 1.9 million views. However, the multi-billionaire is yet to respond to this query of the YouTuber.
Meanwhile, MrBeast’s fans have come forward to share their opinions on this topic. And the majority of them are speaking in support of Donaldson.
Fans rally in support of the YouTuber
Multiple fans have come forward to say the platform is for MrBeast to keep in the future, regardless of the name change.
A fan suggested, “Start posting on X and win over Elon again first video “giving away 100 Tesla cars to my X followers.” This suggestion from the fan might become a reality as Elon Musk has invited MrBeast to take Twitter as an uploading platform.
