World famous YouTuber caught in logs about cars

Jimmy Donaldson has created an empire for himself on Youtube. But when it comes to cars, there is a long way between the truths, media write.

He has received 263,000 dollars or 1.8 million kroner from a single video after a week on the social media "X".

A video in which Jimmy Donaldson, under the alias Mr.Beast, very conveniently also mentions Tesla, which – as most people know – is owned by Tesla's director Elon Musk.

Among other things. claims the 25-year-old American that Teslas can drive themselves. But it's so far from the truth that Jalopnik has now set out to dig into where Donaldson otherwise stumbles upon the truth.

And that's a lot of places in just one video. In the video, Mr. Beast claims, among other things, that he bought a car for one dollar.

That is only partly true. Because the car was a rolling body. A body that the YouTuber, according to his own statement, immediately threw 20,000 dollars into.

Donaldson also claims in the same video that a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ is worth over $1 million in the US. That's not true.

Nor can he say the same about a replica of a Ford Mustang Eleanor. At least not without being on the edge of the truth.

But 1.8 million kroner is – no matter how you spin it – still a lot of money. Money that Donaldson actually admits is hardly the 'real' picture. Read more about it here.
