MrBeast reveals the first thing Elon Musk said to him during their meeting

MrBeast recalls Elon Musk’s first words during their Super Bowl meeting: “Do people still call X Twitter?”

In a recent podcast appearance on Theo Von’s show, YouTube star Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson shared the hilarious first words Elon Musk ever said to him during their first meeting at the Super Bowl in 2024.

MrBeast, a huge fan of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, recalled that their encounter began with Musk asking, “Do you think people still call X Twitter? Do they call it X?” MrBeast, noticing that many people still referred to the platform as Twitter despite its rebranding, responded, “Yeah, most people call it Twitter, I’ve noticed.” Musk, ever the thinker, simply replied, “Interesting.”

This quirky exchange quickly went viral on social media, with fans and followers having fun at Musk’s expense, creating memes and humorous comments about the CEO’s question. Some even suggested that MrBeast, who has "Super Official CEO" in his X bio, might be the key to inspiring the world to start calling it “X” instead of Twitter.

While both MrBeast and Musk are incredibly successful figures in their industries, the YouTuber humbly downplayed the comparison between himself and Musk. When Theo Von pointed out the similarities in their pioneering achievements, MrBeast joked that while Musk is revolutionizing space travel, electric cars, and brain-computer interfaces, he’s focused on making “funny videos.”

Despite his massive success in the digital world, MrBeast acknowledged that he and Musk operate in different spheres, with Musk’s ventures having a far-reaching impact on technology and society. Meanwhile, MrBeast continues to innovate in entertainment, with his upcoming Amazon show Beast Games set to release in December 2024.

The meeting between these two titans of different industries highlights the intriguing intersection of technology, social media, and entertainment. MrBeast’s candid recounting of the encounter offers fans a rare glimpse into the offbeat nature of one of the most influential figures in tech today.
