Tom Brady has had his fair share of controversies on Twitter. From conflict with AB to the FTX scam, Brady has had troubles on Twitter. Furthermore, he recently did something that might earn him the ire of a powerful man. The Buccaneers quarterback went on to like a tweet put out by a prominent YouTuber, Mr. Beast. However, the interesting thing is what Mr. Beast’s tweeted.
The YouTuber decided to tweet a question that implied he wants to be Twitter’s new CEO. This came just days after Elon Musk had announced that he will be stepping down from the position as soon as he can find a replacement. Furthermore, the final nail in the coffin for Elon Musk might have been Tom Brady liking Mr. Beast’s tweet.

Elon Musk a.k.a Elmo is probably not too happy right now with Brady. The star quarterback had recently liked Mr. Beast’s tweet wherein he was questioning the Tesla CEO if he could replace Musk as Twitter’s latest leader.
Musk had previously acquired Twitter with the intention of making it a super-app. He had announced his grand vision for the application. However, even his staunchest supporters were not able to stand behind his actions. The tweet came after a majority (57%) of Elon Musk’s 122 million followers said he should step down. Interestingly, the $155.8 billion business magnet and Tesla CEO also commented on the tweet put out by Mr. Beast, possibly in jest.
It’s not out of the question

However, Musk has also said he would gladly love to resign if he ever found someone foolish enough to take the job, indicating his anger and hurt after being outvoted by his own followers. After a personality as prominent as Brady liked Mr. Beast’s tweet, the billionaire might be hurt even more. This is not the first time Brady has done something foolhardy with his Twitter account. Previously in the year, Brady had messed up with his profile picture in relation to the FTX scam as well.

Brady’s past antics on Twitter
Earlier this year, Brady and his ex-wife, Gisele, had been caught in the scandal of a crypto-app, FTX. The quarterback had initially done multiple advertisements and had even gone on to change his Twitter profile picture in support of the application. The profile picture had laser eyes, indicating his support for the crypto movement. However, after the FTX crash, he faced a lot of backlash for the laser eyes profile picture.
Clearly, Brady has had a knack for making mistakes on Twitter. His FTX fiasco is one example out of many. However, liking Mr. Beast’s posts draws more attention, as someone so prominent is involved. The question that remains is how does the billionaire actually feel about Brady liking Beast’s tweet?
