MrBeast, the renowned YouTuber known for his outrageous and captivating video concepts, has unveiled a new challenge involving pilots and a private jet, set to span 100 days. However, this ambitious idea has already faced backlash even before its release, prompting a swift response from the popular content creator.
Always pushing the envelope with his content, MrBeast aims to keep his audience captivated. While his recent focus has been on Beast Games, an extraordinary game show that cost upwards of $100 million to produce, he hasn’t neglected his YouTube channel, continuing to brainstorm innovative ideas.
Details of the Challenge
During a revealing podcast with Olympian Noah Lyles, MrBeast shared insights about this upcoming project. “This one was crazy…” he hinted, indicating that filming has already taken place and that viewers can expect to see it soon.
The premise of the challenge revolves around two pilots who will spend an entire 100 days inside a private jet. By providing unlimited fuel, MrBeast allows them the freedom to roam anywhere. However, the catch is that if they complete the challenge without leaving the jet, they will own it.
Gathering Criticism on Social Media
The announcement of this video sparked heated discussions on social media after we shared the news on X (formerly known as Twitter). Critics quickly voiced their concerns, with one user remarking, “This would instantly reverse all the pollution and emissions he saved from planting those 100 million trees.”
Others raised alarms over the challenge’s safety, with statements like “Let’s risk pilots’ lives for entertainment,” echoing the shared apprehensions of many. Nonetheless, MrBeast took to the podcast to clarify that both pilots are fully qualified, having just graduated from aviation school. He reassured listeners that flying is entirely optional, emphasizing, “They can just stay in the airport and don’t have to fly anywhere—it’s just an option to make it more fun.”
I see tweets asking how they’ll fly for 100 days, the flying is a choice! They can just stay in the airport and don’t have to fly anywhere it’s just an option to make it more fun. Also we’re tracking the carbon emitted and gonna offset it at the end of the video ❤️

Mitigating Environmental Impact
As MrBeast elaborated, the pilots have the flexibility to serve their whims during the challenge. For example, they could choose to fly to New York City, enjoy a premier pizza via Uber Eats, and then jet off to California for the night. The freedom truly lies with them.
In response to potential environmental issues, MrBeast announced that his team would monitor carbon emissions throughout the project. “We’re tracking the carbon emitted and gonna offset it at the end of the video,” he elaborated. While the specifics of this offset strategy remain vague, it raises questions about whether it will entail planting millions more trees to compensate for the carbon footprint generated by the flights.
What’s Next for MrBeast
Currently, there’s no confirmed airing date for this intriguing video on MrBeast’s channel. Fans will have to wait patiently to discover how much traveling the pilots undertake and whether they indeed manage to stay aboard the jet for the entire duration of the challenge.
