Since 2021, Twitter CEO Elon Musk has sailed through troubled waters after Tesla stock plummeted over 60%. The billionaire witnessed a massive fall on Nasdaq and S&P 500 after investors cribbed over the loss. Plus, Elon had to go through unwanted circumstances as most of his net worth came from Tesla itself, and this fall impacted him badly. So, he went on to make some unnecessary decisions – one of the biggest of them all was to acquire Twitter.

Back in May 2022, Musk set his eyes on the micro-blogging platform, hoping to own it someday. He shared a love/hate relationship with Twitter’s management, always finding ways to delay the deal. But that did not last for long as he accepted his fate on October 27, 2022, walking to the Twitter headquarters as their new CEO. 

Amidst this chaos, the Tesla CEO formed a healthy relationship with YouTuber MrBeast. The duo always joked around the buyout of Twitter and Elon never denied thinking of Jimmy as a future candidate. So, with time the two grew fond of each other, striving in their respective industries. However, the Twitter CEO found himself in troubled waters as reports confirmed a $182 billion loss in his net worth. And that led us to question whether MrBeast would ever surpass Elon Musk in terms of net worth.

Can MrBeast surpass the $143.8 billion Tesla CEO Elon Musk?

In the past year, Jimmy Donaldson saw a sharp surge in sales, growth, business, and basically every other field he invested in. He crossed the $100 million mark and even claimed to get offers to sell his entire business for $1 billion.

Compared to that, Elon Musk fell from the sky, losing his top spot as the world’s richest man. Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVHM, the company that owns Louis Vitton, walked over him after his $182 billion loss. Plus, Elon made some pretty bad decisions in terms of business, facing immediate backlash for the same.

For instance, he fired almost the entire Twitter staff, turned the business model upside down, and then questioned users whether he should step down as CEO. Quite a bold move, right?

On the other hand, MrBeast continued to mint millions, walking over the $100 million mark after working for a decade. So, even if Jimmy is trailing far behind Elon Musk, it is only a few years before he stomps the CEO in terms of net worth. After all, the king of YouTube is half of Elon’s age and has a long way to go.
