GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: MrBeast, the iconic figure on YouTube, consistently captivates his audience with his distinctive perspective. Recently, he took to 'X' to share insights about a conversation with Elon Musk, the CEO of 'X' where Musk expressed his willingness to entrust him with the reins of 'X' in the unfortunate event of his passing.
However, MrBeast now seeks an official confirmation from the tech giant regarding this arrangement, especially after Twitter's transformation into 'X'.

'Twitter is called X, does that nullify our agreement?'
In the tweet, MrBeast shared a screenshot of the conversation he had on the platform 'X' with Musk. In the exchange, MrBeast asked Musk if he could have control of 'X,' formerly known as Twitter, in the event of Musk's passing.
