MrBeast has shared his first proposal if he were to become CEO of Twitter, having asked if he can take on the position after Elon Musk announced he’d step down.

Earlier this week, Musk boldly asked followers if he should stand down as CEO in a Twitter poll, saying: "I will abide by the results of this poll."

The final results came in as 57.5 percent in favour of Musk quitting from a total of more than 17 million votes.

He later confirmed he would, indeed, be handing over control once he found someone ‘foolish’ enough to step up to the job, explaining how he would remain involved in the company but to a much lesser extent.

Since then, a number of people have come forward to say they’d be up for the gig – including YouTuber MrBeast, who tweeted yesterday to ask: “Can I be the new Twitter CEO?”

Musk didn’t seem to be immediately against the idea, responding: “It’s not out of the question.”

Now MrBeast has revealed what his first step would be if he were to become the social media site’s new head.

Posting to Twitter again, he explained: “My first order of business, make it where creators actually want to post videos on Twitter and not just link to other platforms.”

It follows Twitter announcing that users could no longer link to ‘prohibited platforms’ like rival sites Facebook, Instagram and Mastodon.

“We know that many of our users may be active on other social media platforms; however, going forward, Twitter will no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms on Twitter,” the company said in a statement.

Banned platforms include the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Tribel, Nostr, Post and former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social.

The site said it would also be barring the promotion of third-party social media link aggregators, such as Linktree.

By the time Musk's poll had closed on Monday, 57.5 per cent of respondents had opted for him to step aside, compared to 42.5 percent who were against the move.

The post itself also racked up hundreds of thousands of retweets and likes.

Shortly after the poll was launched, he tweeted: "As the saying goes, be careful what you wish, as you might get it."

The rogue SpaceX founder also revealed there was no one waiting in the wings of the blue bird to take over, replying to someone in a comment: "No one wants the job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor."
