Elon Musk's attempt to attract top content creators to his platform, referred to as 'X', has faced resistance from YouTube's biggest stars, including MrBeast. The content creators are reluctant to switch platforms due to YouTube's superior monetization, which reportedly pays 100 times more per view compared to Musk's X. Musk's strained relationship with advertisers, highlighted by his direct remarks telling them to 'go fuck yourself', contrasts with YouTube's strong advertiser relationships. Despite the economic challenges, Musk has expressed that having a public platform that is 'maximally trusted and broadly inclusive' is crucial for the future of civilization and that he is not concerned with the economics, stating, 'I don't care about the economics at all.' MrBeast, known for his hugely popular videos, has publicly rejected Musk's proposal, emphasizing the futility of posting content on X and delivering a sharp retort to Musk's suggestion.

Elon wants the biggest content creators to post videos directly to X. They refuse because YouTube pays 100x more per view. YouTube can pay this because they have a great relationship with advertisers, whereas Elon famously told them to “go fuck yourself!” https://t.co/ykkgjzryuY
