If Mr. Donaldson really wanted to know how much X was gonna give it to him he should have made a video about how Elon is a tiny man-child with an inferiority complex grown out of his inability to satisfy any woman and how Teslas are cheap made in China garbage piles that are handily bested by any other EV on the market in any metric. Only then, I MIGHT believe any revenue numbers he got from such a video, but I think what this article shows is happening is exactly how I'd expect things to go for any other video.
Elon is clearly gonna pull a Facebook and juice the numbers to lure people away from other platforms as long as he can in hopes of growing into something bigger than YouTube. I'd believe Elon's numbers as much as I believe he owns a lovely bridge on Kepler-442b that he wants to sell me at an amazing loss.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

It’s so funny how Grimes is milking him for child support too. He’s such a loser it’s hilarious.
