During an interview on Theo Von’s podcast, YouTuber MrBeast talked about his first meeting with billionaire Elon Musk. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX asked MrBeast a peculiar question, and the answer left internet users shocked.
The two celebrities met at the last Super Bowl. “He asked me, ‘Do you think people still call X ‘Twitter’, or do they already call it X?'”, the YouTuber shared.
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, replied: “I noticed that most people still call it Twitter.” Musk reportedly found the answer “interesting.”
Internet users were surprised by the YouTuber’s response, with many reacting in different ways.
“Literally everyone calls it Twitter. If they mention ‘X’, it’s something like ‘now known as X’ (with an eye-roll),” one user said.
“It’s Twitter, Elon. It will always be Twitter,” another stated. “Wow, this is kinda sad, to be honest. I mean, I’ll still call it Twitter, but still!” lamented a third.
Elon Musk decided to change the name of the social network Twitter in July 2023, a few months after purchasing it. The name change came with a new logo, replacing the blue bird with an “X” on a black background.
