    My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won’t end well.

        In the wise words of Billy Connolly,

        The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one.

        Yup. We keep learning the same thing over and over: Don’t hero worship people, demand they be better and stay better or don’t support them.

        He will eventually do something that will make the OP situation look like nothing, just like Elon, Joanne, or Trump. It’s just a matter of time.

        You should demand better then either, neither should be in charge of a sandwich shop, let alone a country.

        You’re never going to be offered a choice between Mr. Beast and Trump, you may be offered a choice between AOC and Mr. Beast though

    I am baffled how anyone thought someone who went by the moniker Mr. Beast wasn’t telling you who they were the whole tine.

    Production company Off One’s Base LLC wrote in a synopsis sent to the Nevada Film Office that challenges would involve “brains, brawn, and character.”

    Brains to plan Violence, Brawn to preform violence, and a (lack of) Character to enact violence, seems to be what they meant based on this article.

        That’s the thing, I totally get why people say he’s a sociopath cause even though he’s fucking rich, he can’t even pay for an hotel room for the participants. I have a feeling their belongings were taken so they would not have to deal with people stealing each other’s stuff, which would have been wayyy less likely if people got their own room. I highly doubt it’s that much cheaper to rent a fucking stadium, buying 2000 sleeping bags, paying for portable toilets, etc. than to rent a whole cheap hotel or motel.

        He really wanted those participants to be desperate for that money. “At least if I get to the end, all that crap before will be worth it”. It’s disgusting… He’s not considering those people as humans but as cattle.

    Yeah, there was a point in my life where I liked Mr. Beast. Then I came upon a video where they were trying to imitate gangsters and thugs and I got a racist vibe from him. Since then, I’ve been really hesitant to support him.
