Elon Musk slammed YouTube on Tuesday, accusing the site of being riddled with fraudulent adverts.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk issued a series of tweets about the firm, including a parody attacking YouTube and arguing that it filters things like profanity yet ignores fraud advertisements. According to Omnicore, users on YouTube, which has 122 million daily views, may discover examples of similar frauds across the internet, frequently including the picture of a celebrity or influencer promising free money or items through giveaways, according to Business Insider.

Elon Musk Disses YouTube For "Nonstop Fake Ads"

The links, more often than not, lead to phishing schemes carried out by bots aiming to defraud victims of their money and personal information. Google stated in a statement about its fraud standards, 'YouTube does not tolerate spam, scams, or other misleading acts that take advantage of the YouTube community.'

Musk's complaint about YouTube comes as he battles Twitter over the suspension of his $44 billion takeovers of Twitter. He accused Facebook of violating his right to know what proportion of their user base was made up of bots or false accounts.

Bots are automated accounts that send tweets, follow users, and like and retweet others' postings but are unrelated to any one real-life person. Twitter has revealed its bot estimates to the United States. For years, the Securities and Exchange Commission has warned that its assessment may be too low.

Twitter has vowed to force Elon Musk to complete the transaction after he threatened to walk away from it, which contained a stipulation requiring him to pay the social media network a $1 billion breakup fee if it fell through.

Musk's newest jab at Twitter was directed at its chief legal officer, Vijaya Gadde, and threatened to derail the mega-deal. The Tesla CEO stated that he "reserves all rights" to cancel the buyout if the platform fails to give additional information regarding phony accounts on its website.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also said on Monday that he was investigating Twitter for allegedly deceiving Texans about the number of 'bot' users.

Paxton stated that he owes an obligation to Texans to safeguard them from the firm if it is truly misrepresenting bot data to increase revenue. Musk will move to Texas in December 2020.

Earlier in the spam account dispute, the social media network claimed it had given the essential information, but Elon Musk disregarded it as just the process for spotting bots. The lawsuit on Monday is not the first time Musk has threatened to cancel the blockbuster offer, which was temporarily paused last month as Musk investigated bogus accounts.

He stated that spam bots might account for at least half of Twitter's users, which is more than ten times the official number. He also tweeted last month that he 'cannot move forward with the acquisition unless the needed data is supplied, Daily Mail reported.

MrBeast Also Slams YouTube's Fake Ads

MrBeast, a YouTube celebrity, is also lashing out against fake ads featuring his picture on YouTube, alleging that he has contracted the site to resolve the issue with no success. Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson is one of the most popular YouTubers right now.

The influencer, who has over 96 million followers on his primary channel alone, has become best known for big-budget projects like his viral 'Squid Games' replica and his real-life reproduction of Willy Wonka's fanciful chocolate factory.

Given his prominence as a top-tier social media celebrity, it's not surprising that he's attracted a few imitators during his career, but some of these imitators are less than complimentary.

A brief swipe through the YouTube app may periodically reveal advertising purportedly from MrBeast, giving a random sum of money to possible lucky winners. It appears to be too wonderful to be true - and it is.

In an angry tweet on June 7, Donaldson pointed out these bogus advertising in response to a joke from Tesla CEO Elon Musk condemning YouTube's supposed inactivity on "scam ads."

MrBeast has already called out literal garbage accounts for stealing his likeness as their profile photo to post cruel and abusive comments about other YouTubers, as per Dexerto.
