But, he's trying to manipulate him by inflating view counts? Also, pretty sure musk wants him because he's a huge creator and it would be good for twitter, not because he can sense he's bad or whatever. I don't really care about Mr Beast, never watched his videos, but I've heard much more good about him than bad.
