Can you name the MrBeast or PewDiePie of twitter?

Yes his name is @dril and he is more powerful than 100 of your Misters Beast or Pewdies Pie

@dril seems to come close (I didn't know him, probably because he only has 1.7M followers).

On twitter he's only at place 5,391 (https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/dril).

MrBeast and PewDiePie are both millionaires ($40M-$100M) thanks to YouTube, and each have 111M followers, that's around 65x @dril.

Can you state exactly what you mean with @dril == 100 * Mister Beast?

your problem is, that youre perfect, and everyone is jealous of your good posts, and that makes you rightfully upset.

Ah damn you're right I was off by an order of magnitude - @dril is one thousand times those guys. Good catch.

Elon Musk.

Sure he's successful in the real world but having money doesn't make you a celebrity. I wouldn't recognize most of the Forbes list if I passed them in the street. He's actual famous, instead of Wikipedia famous, because of how he's engaged his supporters through Twitter. The chance to interact with him or have him like your meme is the content.

He was President of the United States for a minute there, strange though it is to think about.

Ah, you say, but Donald Trump was famous before Twitter!

He was, yes. But he wasn't President.
