MrBeast is known for his philanthropy and charity to help people in need. In the same spirit, MrBeast recently hosted a giveaway of 250,000 dollars that he earned from his first X video. Elon Musk had personally tweeted at MrBeast, asking him to post his videos on the X platform to try to get more creators to use his platform.
In response, MrBeast informed Elon Musk that producing his films required millions of dollars. He wouldn’t be able to cover even a small portion of the production costs even if the films received a billion views on the X platform. The YouTuber eventually changed his mind and posted an old YouTube video titled ‘$1 vs $100,000,000 Car!’
MrBeast announced that the video made him $250,000 in just a few days. Still, because of all the attention the tweet was receiving, many companies had bought advertisements on that tweet. Thus, he doubted the long-term aspect of revenue on X. MrBeast eventually decided that he would be giving away the money earned from this video.

MrBeast declared that he would distribute the $250,000 he earned from the ad revenue on X to ten randomly selected recipients, giving each $25,000. They had to follow MrBeast on Twitter within the next 72 hours and repost the tweet announcing the contest in order to be eligible for the procedure. The tweet received a lot of attention, and the post became the most retweeted post in the history of the platform, with over 3.9 million reposts.
MrBeast announced the winners of the giveaway three days after the announcement. A person named Brian Lalley, who had won the giveaway, tweeted at MrBeast to let him know how much the money meant to him. He informed the YouTuber that he and his wife were having a baby on February 9th. Hence, the money could not come at a better time.
Brian said that winning this money was life-changing for him. He never thought that such an incident could happen to him. Fans were elated to see the couple’s happiness and congratulated them. They appreciated MrBeast’s continuous generosity to his fans and people in need, saying he was deserving of the title of the most subscribed individual YouTuber on the platform.
