MrBeast's '$1 Car vs $100,000,000 Car' Video On Elon Musk's X Has Received Over 100M Views — Is It A Success?
Portfolio Pulse from Ananya Gairola
MrBeast's video on Elon Musk's X platform, '$1 Car vs $100,000,000 Car', has garnered over 100 million views in less than a week. Skepticism arises due to X's view count policy, which counts multiple non-unique views. MrBeast's decision to post on X versus YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL), is highlighted by his statement that even a billion views on X wouldn't fund his video production costs. The impact of X's Creator Ads Revenue Sharing initiative on MrBeast's earnings is yet to be determined.
