    And now Elon Musk wants him on X. Keep in mind that Elon Musk is openly repelled by those he cannot manipulate, including anyone with working conscience who is disgusted by the kind of propagandistic hatred X serves up on the regular, and Musk tirades against that kind of ethical “wokeness” regularly. Yet he loves Mr. Beast enough to run Beast content (for free? as an ad?) to get Mr. Beast onto his platform. That’s not the kind of recommendation decent people get from Musk.

    Excellent write-up. This paragraph especially speaks volumes. Honestly, it’s an angle I hadn’t even considered, but when faced with it, yeah, exactly! How the hell does Mr. Beast not get the same “wokeness” critique as other people when it comes to Musk??

      Musk is just a suck-up. Also, Mr. Beast doesn’t really do anything he could clown on, and he’s well connected. It would make Musk’s reputation worse than it already is.
