YouTube sensation MrBeast recently created history on Elon Musk’s X platform. After raking in a whopping $250,000 from an old video uploaded on X, he set a new record with the most reposted post in the platform’s history.
He uploaded one of his most recent and most popular YouTube videos and it paid off, in the literal sense of the expression, big time.
The world’s most popular YouTuber shared his earnings from the video and it turns out he actually made more on X then he had with the same video on YouTube.
I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)
I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

That’s mind-blowing but then again, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised.
