World's biggest YouTuber 'MrBeast' offers to "fill the roll" as CEO of X.
MrBeast, the world's biggest YouTuber, has offered to "fill the roll" as CEO of X (formerly Twitter) after Linda Yaccarino stepped down from the position. Here's what's happening:
Linda Yaccarino's Departure: Yaccarino announced her departure on July 9, 2025, after two years as CEO of X, citing her decision to move on to a new chapter. She expressed gratitude to Elon Musk for entrusting her with the responsibility of protecting free speech and transforming X into the "Everything App".
MrBeast's Interest: MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, responded to the news by saying "I'll fill the roll" when someone jokingly suggested he should take the position. This isn't the first time MrBeast has shown interest in a CEO role; he previously asked Elon Musk if he could be Twitter's CEO in 2022, and Musk replied that it wasn't out of the question.
MrBeast's Qualifications: With over 258 million subscribers on YouTube, MrBeast has built a massive following and has experience in creating engaging content. However, it's unclear if he has the necessary experience to lead a social media platform like X.
What's Next for X: Elon Musk hasn't announced a replacement for Yaccarino yet, leaving the future of X's leadership uncertain. MrBeast's offer might be a joke, but it's an interesting development in the world of social media and content creation.
