MrBeast is facing backlash over his latest video idea before it even airs. The YouTuber revealed plans for a 100-day challenge where two pilots stay inside a private jet.
The pilots can fly wherever they want, thanks to unlimited fuel provided by MrBeast’s team. If they stay in the jet for 100 days, they get to keep it.
The idea quickly sparked criticism online. Some users worried about the environmental impact, pointing out that the emissions from flying could undo the good MrBeast did by planting 100 million trees.
Others questioned the safety of the challenge, with some saying it risks the pilots’ lives for entertainment.
MrBeast responded, reassuring fans that the pilots are qualified and can choose to stay grounded for the full 100 days.
“Flying is a choice,” he said. He also promised to track the carbon emissions and offset them, though the exact plan remains unclear.
The video is set to release soon, but it’s still unclear how much the pilots will travel or if they’ll complete the full 100 days.
