Musk was specifically trying to get Mr. Beast to post videos on X after Mr. Beast was saying it didn't generate enough revenue to be worth the effort the last time he tried. Because of this, it seems like there was a lot of incentive for Musk to try to do everything in his power to ensure this video in particular got promoted so that Mr. Beast would advertise the fact that he made a significant amount of money from it in order to send the message that X is a viable platform for creators, but for this reason, I would be dubious about drawing any conclusions about X as a video platform in general. Even if Musk didn't somehow special case this video, there may not be that much monetized video content on X right now, so it's possible that if the X algorithm is attempting to promote monetized video content, that had the effect of mainly promoting this Mr. Beast video when he posted it, in which case the results might be very different once there are a larger number of people posting video content.
