Internet users have been left shaking their heads in disbelief after MrBeast revealed what Elon Musk said to him when they met in person for the first time.

MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, recalled meeting Musk when he sat down for an interview with fellow YouTuber Theo Von this month to talk all things life and career.

Von described Musk and MrBeast as both being 'pioneers in certain schools of thought', though MrBeast pointed out that while Musk is busy with tasks like 'taking us to Mars... talking through your phone with your brain [and] fixing traffic', he's 'pioneering funny videos'.

"I don't know if I'd put those [at the same level]," he joked, adding: "But yeah we bumped into each other at the Super Bowl, said 'hi'."

MrBeast then went on to recall Musk asking him one particular question when they met, seemingly looking to pick MrBeast's brain due to his position as a social media star.

He said: "I think he asked me, 'Do I think people call X 'Twitter' still, or do people call it X?'"

I think we all know the answer to that one, and MrBeast wasn't going to lie.

"I was like uh, 'most people call it Twitter, that I've noticed'," he recalled, before adding that Musk described his response as 'interesting'.

MrBeast's revelation prompted a big response online, with people losing it over just how much Musk wants the new name for his social media platform to stick.

"Literally everyone calls it Twitter. If they mention X at all they're like 'now known as X' (with an eye roll)," one person wrote, as another added: "It's Twitter Elon. It will always be, Twitter."

One Twitter user joked at the concept that the name of the platform was something that 'keep[s] Elon up at night', while a fourth responded: "wait that’s kinda sad ngl. i mean im still gonna call it twitter but still!"

Musk began his rebranding of Twitter in July 2023, most noticeably changing the familiar blue bird logo to a black-and-white one featuring an 'X'.

The move came after the SpaceX CEO completed his acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, but more than a year later people are still refusing to accept its new title.

Other than their meeting at the Super Bowl, MrBeast said that he and Musk haven't crossed paths and don't really have any plans to work together at the moment.

"I'm in talks with people at SpaceX and we've been cooking ideas and things like that, but not Elon himself," he said.
