YouTube icon MrBeast has set foot on Meta’s new social media platform, Threads. Within two days of joining the platform, the content creator has amassed a substantial following. Notably, the 25-year-old left Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, behind in the race to reach a million followers on Threads. Beast has taken to the new platform fairly quickly and many are wondering whether this means that now he will be less active on Twitter.

Earlier, MrBeast had self-proclaimed himself to be the Super Official CEO of Twitter. The YouTuber is now pitching himself to be the future Threads CEO and is bringing forth a special giveaway on this new Meta app.
