Commander-in-Beast?
A YouTuber in the White House doesn’t even crack the top 10 weirdest things anymore…
So, MrBeast—YouTube’s favorite philanthropist and snack king—is out here talking about running for president. Again. This time, he told Theo Von on This Past Weekend that he’s thinking maybe in his 50s or 60s. Because apparently, ruling the free world is just another thing on his to-do list after dominating YouTube and selling more Feastables.
Honestly, can you even act surprised? With America’s track record, a YouTuber in the White House doesn’t even crack the top 10 weirdest things anymore. The guy already has 335 million subscribers, so his campaign ads would basically write themselves. Forget “land of the free”—we’re looking at “land of the clickbait.”

What’s the Plan?
MrBeast said he wants to check off all his business goals first before jumping into politics. Respect, I guess? He’s talking about starting small with local and state-level stuff, then working his way up to the big leagues. But let’s not pretend the timing’s accidental—by the time he’s 50 or 60, all those Gen Z fans of his will be legal voters. Convenient.

The guy also dropped some “policies,” like focusing on unity and ignoring party lines. Honestly, that’s cool and all, but it’s also the same thing every presidential hopeful says before they’re knee-deep in lobbyists and photo ops. And while his net worth (ahem, MrBeast Net Worth) means he wouldn’t need corporate money, this is America—nobody’s immune to the drama.
A MrBeast Presidency?
Imagine the giveaways. Free cars, random cash prizes, and maybe even a student loan forgiveness raffle. His State of the Union would probably include a challenge where Congress has to survive 24 hours in a box. And with his knack for big stunts, don’t act like he wouldn’t turn the presidential elections into a full-blown spectacle. Honestly, it’s not even the worst idea.
I was just looking over all the Beast Philanthropy videos and the impact so far is insane! We’ve also given 20,000,000 meals to people in need (avg around 2M meals a month now🥰)
I want to give praise to my partner Darren, he’s the maniac that doesn’t sleep, most selfless person… pic.twitter.com/k9mGAYLMDW

Do We Care?
Look, celebrity news is always wild, and celebrity rumors like this are part of the fun. Could MrBeast actually win? Sure. Would it be insane? Also yes. But at this point, nothing surprises me. Maybe let him stick to giving away houses and running Beast Games for now. We’ll cross the political bridge in a few decades when his subscribers are old enough to bet on celebrities in real elections.
