I think it’s a similar thing that happened to Elon Musk (but differently). First off, I don’t think MrBeast is anywhere near as bad as Musk, he’s basically turned Twitter into a safe haven for hate and bigotry while he himself has fallen further into conspiracy and hate. But a few years ago he was seen as the “cool billionaire” - everyone seemed to think he was a really great guy, when in reality, he’s just as bad as other billionaires like Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg, but after he bought Twitter he started to show cracks in that “cool billionaire” persona, you started to see he’s just another arrogant rich person that people put on a pedestal. MrBeast is having a similar moment, people put him on a pedestal because he does charity work (which is good), but that doesn’t make him infallible, and now that serious and real issues are arising that penetrate the “selfless philanthropist” persona that people ascribe to him (he also has leaned into that persona in the past). This is why you shouldn’t idolise celebrities. MrBeast is a brand now, not a person, the person at the centre is Jimmy, and he does good things, but what people forget is that he is still a businessman, a more charitable businessman? For sure, but still a businessman, and people forget that part. They think Jimmy just does charity, but he doesn’t, he runs a media empire that is arguably bigger than some media corporations in terms of viewership and merch sales - he is a business who does charity too.

I like MrBeast in general, he’s a North Carolina boy like me. There was a point when he was really good and real.

I think MrBeast is kind of like Elon, he’s narcissistic and does things without thinking and can justify everything he does to himself. But like Elon he also does good things and there’s a reason he got to where he is. I think he got too full of himself.
