Elon Musk demands PewDiePie to let him host meme review with hilarious Tweet
Joe Skipper, Reuters / PewDiePie, YouTubeTesla Motors CEO Elon Musk has given YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg a fairly pointed suggestion in regards to the YouTuber’s ‘Meme Review’ show.
Musk posted a humorous Tweet on January 27, which featured a picture of the tech millionaire holding aloft one of his own flame throwers with the caption, “Host meme review?”
PewDiePie had a fairly bemused response to the request, appearing to entertain the possibility of their collaboration on the show.

“✋🤠🤚 Don’t shoot!” Pewds replied. “Please host 🙏 We need this!”
That wasn’t the end of Musk’s interaction, either; he likewise had a short conversation with popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson, who triple-dog-dared the CEO to host the show – to which Musk raised a $5 fee.

“I’ll give you $5 and I’ll buy a Tesla,” MrBeast returned.
“You drive a hard bargain, but… okay,” Musk replied.

This wouldn’t be the first time a notable figure has appeared on Meme Review, should the Musk collab actually come to fruition; conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro made an appearance on the show in early November of 2018, after being jokingly invited on by PewDiePie in a previous segment.
Musk himself is no stranger to the internet community. He and Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue had a hilarious interaction on Twitter in early January 2019, after the gamer purchased a Tesla due to Musk’s response to one of his Tweets.
