During a recent podcast appearance on Theo Von’s show, YouTube megastar Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson shared a memorable moment with Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, during their first-ever meeting at the Super Bowl in 2024.
As MrBeast recounted, Musk’s opening line was as quirky as you’d expect:
“Do you think people still call X Twitter? Do they call it X?”
MrBeast, ever the observer, responded, “Yeah, most people call it Twitter, I’ve noticed.” Musk’s reply? A simple, “Interesting.”
This amusing exchange quickly caught fire on social media. Fans and creators flooded platforms with memes, poking fun at Musk’s self-awareness about the rebranding of Twitter to X. Many hilariously speculated that MrBeast—whose bio on X humorously reads "Super Official CEO"—might be the perfect ambassador to popularize the name change.
MrBeast vs. Musk: Different Worlds, Same Drive
Though both are trailblazers in their fields, MrBeast humbly brushed aside comparisons between his work and Musk’s groundbreaking innovations. When Theo Von drew parallels between their achievements, MrBeast humorously noted:
“While Musk is busy revolutionizing space travel and AI, I’m just out here making funny videos.”
Despite their differences, the duo represents a fascinating overlap of tech, social media, and entertainment. Musk’s ventures transform industries, while MrBeast’s relentless creativity keeps redefining online entertainment.
With MrBeast’s much-anticipated Beast Games show premiering on Amazon in December 2024, fans can expect even more groundbreaking content from the YouTube mogul.
This charming Super Bowl interaction is a reminder of the human, lighthearted side of two global icons shaping the future in their own unique ways. What do you think—will we ever stop calling it Twitter? Share your thoughts below!
