Popular YouTuber and philanthropist MrBeast shocked social media users with an unexpected post on X (formerly Twitter), where he claimed:

"Proud to announce I’ve burned down 20,000,000 trees! Can’t wait to upload this video."

Given MrBeast’s well-known reputation for charity work—especially his Team Trees initiative, which planted millions of trees—this statement left his followers in disbelief. Many speculated that it was an April Fool’s joke, while others expressed concern over the uncharacteristic post.

One user sarcastically commented, "How many kids did you blind, MrBeast?"—a reference to his past charity work, where he funded surgeries for blind individuals. To this, MrBeast replied:

"1,000 so then I have more to cure!"

The conversation quickly went viral, with fans debating whether he was trolling or making a controversial statement. Some users urged others to screenshot the tweet, predicting that he might delete it later.

MrBeast, known for his massive charitable donations and viral challenge videos, recently visited India and collaborated with CarryMinati, one of India’s biggest YouTubers. The collaboration featured other prominent Indian creators, sparking excitement among fans.

While many believe this is a harmless April Fool’s prank, the tweet has certainly stirred discussions online. As of now, MrBeast has not provided further clarification. Whether it’s a joke or part of an upcoming video, fans are eagerly waiting for answers.
