MrBeast earned over $263,000 in ad revenue from a video on X, but he expressed doubts about the accuracy of this number.
MrBeast posted, “Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think) and thus my revenue per view is prob higher than what you’d experience.”
Elon Musk has been trying to attract creators to X by offering ways to earn money, including a share of ad revenue.

MrBeast, who has a large following on YouTube, seems interested but cautious.
MrBeast wrote to Musk, “My videos cost millions to make and even if they got a billion views on X it wouldn’t fund a fraction of it . . . I’m down though to test stuff once monetization is really cranking!”
He posted a video on X to test ad revenue and shared that it earned $263,655.
