On social media, we have witnessed the biggest YouTuber MrBeast and billionaire Elon Musk's friendship develop over time. In a previous Twitter exchange, Musk had promised that the YouTuber would be able to manage the platform if something were to happen to him. Musk has paid 44 billion dollars to buy the social media network, and MrBeast will hold him to his word.
Therefore, it seems sensible that Jimmy aka MrBeast would attempt to take a picture with Elon when he believed he had seen him in person. It transpires that he had a chance encounter with someone else and it wasn't the owner of Twitter/X.

Unfortunately, he ended himself in a shot with a total stranger who looked eerily similar to the tech tycoon, much to his dismay.
AdvertisementFans quickly realized that he had run with Canadian actor Kevin Durand, who has been in Real Steel, Wolverine, and X-Men: Origins.
Check out fans' reactions to MrBeast's picture:
On September 12, MrBeast said that while attending the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, he had run across someone whom he mistook for Elon and proceeded to ask for a picture.
