  The Pentagon also approved funding for content involving YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, a.k.a. MrBeast, who was slated to lead a humanitarian effort in Puerto Rico. “We did complete a PAA for the Social Influencer Mr. Beast, but ultimately did not support the production as he did not go to Puerto Rico for the Hurricane relief, so that PAA is cancelled,” a Pentagon official wrote in an email obtained by Rolling Stone. 

  Guess Jimmy found something more profitable to sink is grubby fingers into.

  We also need to ask why the fuck are we throwing money at people that are ‘planning on’ having a relief effort (as a form of self-promotion, clearly–if he cared that much to help he would have found a way) instead of having a relief effort for the sake of helping people that need help??

  Puerto Rico is part of America for some reason so i have to assume they’re entitled to aid. But I’m sure when PR signed the contract there was probably some gotcha hidden in there that allows America to refuse to help or some other slimy bullshit, lol.

  Is this really where the future of disaster relief is headed? Whoever decides to make a vanity project out of the reconstruction gets government funding? 🤡

  I’m gonna call that little shit eater with the grin “Jimmy Beast” from now on.
  Definitely didn’t earn the moniker “Mr.”

  Those African villages are getting out of poverty. Someone needs to bomb them so I can make more videos - MrBeast.
