'I get pretty good impressions': YouTuber KSI stuns fans with how much money he makes on Elon Musk's X platform
CLEVELAND, OHIO: During the recent 'IMPAULSIVE' podcast episode, KSI stated that he earned a little more than $1500 from his X account in August 2023. Elon Musk has stated that he wants X to be the "best platform for creators."
Musk's platform has introduced features like creator subscriptions and, most recently, a creator monetization scheme with the aim of doing this.
KSI’s earnings from X
On episode 392 of 'IMPAULSIVE', KSI, and Logan Paul, his partner in PRIME, welcomed Manchester City player Erling Haaland to their stable of PRIME athletes.
The two online sensations talked about their forthcoming PRIME card, their continuing spat with Dillon Danis, and the possibility of making money through Twitter/X before introducing the footballing superstar to the show.
“I get pretty good impressions, in the hundreds of millions, and how much I’ve got for August, the whole of August, $1590,” KSI revealed.
The fact that KSI has made $1500 from Twitter/X may seem "cool" to certain people, but it's not comparable to YouTube, which is their primary source of money, Logan said.
"Oh my gosh, yeah, on YouTube I'm laughing while on Twitter I'm like, "Alright, cool, yeah," said KSI.
KSI vs Tommy Furry
Erling Haaland, during the recent 'IMPAULSIVE' podcast, said that Tommy Fury could come up victorious against KSI in their October 14 bout.
"Oct. 14, I'm doing what Paul couldn't and beating Fury on the biggest night in crossover boxing history, at Manchester's AO Arena, live on DAZN PPV on the Prime card!" KSI wrote on Instagram.
The younger brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, Tommy Fury, has a 9-0 record in the ring. In February, he defeated Jake Paul by split decision. Paul now has a career record of 6-1 after suffering his first defeat.
In a 2018 amateur fight, KSI and Logan Paul were tied. KSI is 3-0 in exhibition matches, including a no-contest against Joe Fournier in May after the latter was knocked down by an illegal elbow.
