The announcement of this switch, which he made on the social network X (formerly Twitter), did not escape its CEO, Elon Musk, who made a comment brief but positive upon hearing the news: “Wow, congratulations!” An Internet user working under the pseudonym Greg also burst out with joy: “I'm literally shaking and crying right now, I can't believe we are here. #8217;we finally did”.
Success leading to success, Mr Beast later explained: “Yesterday, we’never had so many subscribers in one day 😮” So he garnered more than 2 million subscriptions additional.
