-Elon Musk
I didn’t realize anyone earned anything on Twitter ever. Is this just video views? Is this new?
Also, fuck Musk, etc.
I think it's new, he decided to add it to attract Tucker Carlson. I don't know who would watch a whole 20 minute video on their phone though.

How is he going to be able to handle more videos when he has to ration text views because it's melting his servers.
He's always been desperate for attention, but now the public sentiment has finally turned against him everything he does just looks sad.
Oh and his memes were always stale AF.
Elon just wants everyone to think he's funny and smart.
Unfortunately he's so determined to be constantly visibly online it's completely shattered that illusion.
He's just not funny.
A lot of comedy comes from situational absurdity of unexpected actions, and there is nothing that kills the joke faster than to realize that they are not pretending. It was funny at first when a boomer (Ok, elder Gen X) billionaire started posting bad middle school humor on Twitter, it immediately stopped being funny when it turns out his real maturity level never got past middle school.
Which is also why Trump is such a black hole for comedy, you just can't make fun of him, because any absurd and ridiculous thing you can think of him doing, you would expect him to actually do it.

Two people in this world that you should never get an IOU from: Trump and Musk.
They just don't pay their bills. It's not worth the effort.
With what money, Elon? You can't afford to pay Google or office rent but you're going to pay Mr. Beast?
He’s perfectly capable of paying both. He doesn’t want to, and because he’s rich, he doesn’t have to. There is a reason billionaires end up with so much money, and fairly compensating other parties isn’t it.

A company notorious for revenue problems and missing bill payments is definitely who I would want to enter a business relationship with. Where do I sign up?
And run by a guy notorious for not paying his bills

Every time Elon begs for money, I donate to my Mastodon or Lemmy admins.
You should be really wealthy, my friend.
Not for long, it seems. With all that donating.

Yeah and his best offer is I promise I'll pay you what you're already being paid...

How can MrBeast post a 10-minute video on Twitter? Should he make a thread for a video? 😆 😆

Pretty sure Mr Beast is a company, not a person. I mean, we know who he is, but like, he isn't the guy managing millions of dollars.
Pretty sure they are a well oiled machine, still making ridiculous amount of money.
Asking them to come to your platform publicly like that would be like BC college asking the Red Sox to play a few games on their turf for funzies.
They wouldn't show up without a down payment equal to what they pull down on an average night at home.

Fuck Musk. He should do us all a favour and go suck on the tail end of one of “his” rockets.
All the jokes aside, it's still amazing the CEO over a year in doesn't even know how profitable being an user that drives engagement on the site is compared to a (I guess) competitor like youtube. He's just like we're as profitable as youtube for you, or if not we can be, like the guy knows nothing and is just throwing claims out there with no basis in reality or plan to follow through on them.

This looks so desperate
Interesting that he would try to use the potential number of views as a selling point while also publicly decimating the reach of Twitter posts lol

Even billionaires are begging MrBeast for shit now, lmao.
Wish Twitter would just stop existing already. Why do people acknowledge the shitty owner of the site at all? Just keep this scum out the news. Easy.

Top bad Twitter's video player is very bad, and Twitter's but rate is very noticably worse than YouTube.
Also I don't watch Mr beast so I don't give a shit in the first place.
Lmao elon is so thirsty, it’s hilarious
