Words matter—especially when you have nearly 400 million subscribers and every sentence you say can be clipped, twisted, and turned into a headline. MrBeast, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/02/43996522/mrbeast-lost-millions-on-amazons-beast-games-now-hes-looking-to-raise-hundreds-of-millions-to-take-his-brand-to-the-next-level">aka Jimmy Donaldson</a>, woke up to find that one of his interviews had been reduced to a quote he says he never actually said: "Life is so much easier when you're broke."
The quote made its rounds after a post from Kotaku, which slapped the line front and center on a viral article and Facebook post. Cue outrage, confusion, and a flurry of angry replies—including one vile, hate-filled message shown in a screenshot MrBeast shared on X last month.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
But here's the thing: he never said it. At least not like that.
"A news site lied and said I said ‘life is so much easier when you're broke' which I didn't say," <a href="https://x.com/MrBeast/status/1895849826979651873">MrBeast posted to X on March 1</a>. "Now I'm waking up to millions of people believing the lie and hating me. Being famous is so much fun," he added, with a thumbs-up emoji so dry you could sand wood with it.
In a <a href="https://x.com/MrBeast/status/1895852639898005977">follow-up post that same day</a>, he continued: "Here's what I actually said, such a shame that only a small % of the people that saw the slanderous article will see this. Sigh."
So, what did he actually say?
In the clip, MrBeast begins, "Life is so much easier…" then pauses before continuing, "Bro, if you don't travel constantly, life is so much easier." It wasn't about being broke. It was about being burnt out.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
The full interview dove into his 15-hour workdays, health struggles, and the pressure that comes with being one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44794639/ironically-because-of-all-the-new-tariffs-its-now-way-cheaper-to-make-our-chocolate-bars-outside-the-us-says-mrbeast">most recognizable faces on the internet</a>. He even mentioned he has less than a million dollars in his bank account—hardly the typical millionaire mindset headline bait would suggest.
Kotaku did go back and update the headline. The article now reads: "MrBeast: Life Is ‘Easy' When You ‘Wake Up In Your Own Bed' And ‘Work 15 Hours' (Update)"—a noticeably different message.
Still, the damage had been done. The original post, amplified by Kotaku's huge reach, spread like wildfire. A flood of replies—some genuinely upset, others just trolling—rolled in before the correction.
The whole thing is a sharp reminder that when you're internet-famous, one misquote can shape public perception in seconds. And getting the truth out? That's the part that's never quite as viral.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Allison Transmission Stock In The Last 10 Years

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S.-listed China stocks</a> rose on Wednesday, spurred by optimism over Beijing&#8217;s softening trade tensions with Washington following the latest comments from the Trump administration.
Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), and&nbsp;Baidu, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) maintained their rally Wednesday.
Electric vehicle companies, including&nbsp;NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>),&nbsp;Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), and&nbsp;XPeng Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), also noted strong upward momentum.
President Donald Trump hinted at a substantial reduction in tariff rates as he proposed to treat China fairly as its trading partner, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/chinese-stocks-in-hong-kong-rally-on-bets-trade-tensions-to-ease?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent&nbsp;acknowledged during an investor summit the impracticability and mutual challenges of a tariff war with China.
Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;hint of retaining Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also buoyed the spirits.
Additionally, Chinese trade flows <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44935325/why-are-us-listed-chinese-stocks-trading-higher-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">exhibited momentum in</a> April despite President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariff war against&nbsp;its trading partners.
Trump&#8217;s tariff relief on electronic products and pause of reciprocal tariffs against most countries posed a tailwind.
Separate reports indicated that China&#8217;s&nbsp;Xi Jinping&nbsp;is eyeing Europe as a key trading partner as it proposes to tap the&nbsp;strained U.S.-EU relations.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock rally via China ETFs trading in the U.S., including iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) and KraneShares Trust KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>).

US-Listed China Stocks Surge As Trump Hints At Tariff Cuts and Softening Trade Tensions

Shares of Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) and Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) spiked in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session before pulling back. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/automakers">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What Happened: According to a Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/fa0f6749-729e-41ca-917b-7b534041f6f8">report</a>, President Donald Trump is expected to relax tariffs on automakers following &#8220;intense&#8221; lobbying from industry executives in recent weeks. 
The report, which cites two people with knowledge of the matter, indicates Trump could exempt car parts, steel and aluminum from tariffs imposed on imports from China.
Automakers will reportedly still face 25% duties on all imports of foreign-made cars, as well as separate 25% tariffs on parts set to go into effect on May 3.
The news comes after various executives from the auto industry raised concerns that tariffs would drive up vehicle prices, force job losses and impact supply chains.

Stellantis chair John Elkann reportedly warned last week that the automobile industry was being &#8220;put at risk&#8221; due to the Trump administration&#8217;s trade policies. Another executive in the space reportedly said that tariffs were jeopardizing the health of the entire industry. 
Trump slapped sweeping reciprocal tariffs on a slew of nations at the beginning of the month, before announcing a 90-day pause for most countries. Trade partners still face 10% baseline tariffs during the 90-day pause period. 
Shares of Ford, GM and Stellantis all jumped in extended trading Wednesday before pulling back. Ford traded up to around $10, but was down 0.36% after hours, trading at $9.73 at last check. 
GM shares traded up to around the $48.40 level, but were down 0.70% after the close, trading at $45.50 at the time of publication. Stellantis was the only automaker holding onto gains, last up 0.95% after hours, trading at $9.01. Stellantis traded as high as $9.30 in after-hours trading Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a rundown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LUV">of the report</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $6.43 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $6.40 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 EPS: Loss of 13 cents, versus estimates for a loss of 18 cents</li>
</ul>
First-quarter operating revenue increased 1.6% year-over-year. The company said passenger revenue increased 1.7% year-over-year. Revenue per available seat mile (RASM) increased 3.5% year-over-year. Growth was primarily driven by yield improvements from revenue management actions and capacity moderation.
The company ended the quarter $8.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, resulting in a net cash position of $1.6 billion, which includes debt. Southwest returned $857 million to shareholders in the first quarter in dividends and share repurchases and said it expects to repurchase the remaining $1.5 billion under its buyback by the end of July. 
&#8220;While the broader economic environment has been dynamic, we remain focused on executing our transformational plan. On costs, we beat our previously adjusted&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;and are on track to achieve the increased cost reduction plan targets announced last month. We ran a stellar operation in&nbsp;first quarter, leading the industry in&nbsp;ontime performance and improving on almost every operating metric, year-over-year,&#8221; said Bob Jordan, president and CEO of Southwest Airlines.

Outlook: Southwest Airlines pulled its full-year 2025 and 2026 EBIT guidance, citing &#8220;current macroeconomic uncertainty.&#8221;
The company said it expects second-quarter unit revenues to be flat to down&nbsp;4%. Capacity is expected to grow between 1% and 2% year-over-year in the second quarter. Southwest expects cost per available seat mile excluding fuel (CASM-X) to increase 3.5% to 5.5% year-over-year in the second quarter, driven primarily by inflationary pressures.
The company expects full-year 2025 capacity to be up roughly 1%, versus prior expectations of 1% to 2%. Southwest continues to expect 2025 capital spending to be in the range of&nbsp;$2.5 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$3 billion.
&#8220;We expect to introduce basic economy and bag fees for most fare products next month and remain on track to begin selling assigned and extra legroom seats in&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;2025 for operation beginning in&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;of next year,&#8221; Jordan said. 
Southwest Airlines executives will further discuss the quarter on a call with investors and analysts at 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday afternoon. 
LUV Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/LUV">Southwest Airlines shares</a> were down after-hours 3.61% at $24.60 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday following the completion of its Advantage2 quantum computer's physical assembly at Davidson Technologies<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44945155/d-wave-and-davidson-technologies-near-installation-completion-of-alabamas-first-on-site-annealing-" rel="noreferrer noopener"> headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama.</a>
This development marks a critical phase in D-Wave's collaboration with Davidson and advances Alabama's position as a key player in the U.S. quantum infrastructure ecosystem.
With physical assembly wrapped up, the system is now undergoing calibration and performance testing to prepare it for secure operational deployment.
Once live, the Advantage2 will become Alabama's first on-premises annealing quantum system, focused on real-world optimization problems in national security and defense applications.

The installation will be formally unveiled at a private ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 23, with state and federal leaders in attendance alongside executives from both companies.
Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave, emphasized the importance of the system for defense-focused quantum innovation, stating the machine will support the creation of applied quantum solutions in secure environments.
&#8220;The installation of an Advantage2 system will enable Davidson to explore and develop real-world quantum applications — particularly in optimization — for some of the U.S. government&#8217;s most complex problems and then deploy those applications in a secure environment,&#8221; Baratz said.
Dale Moore, president and CEO of Davidson, called the installation a "step-change" in deploying quantum tools for precision defense tasks, underlining the significance of having such technologies onsite to drive mission outcomes.
This milestone is part of a long-term agreement between the two firms, with Davidson investing in research and hybrid quantum-classical approaches for defense-relevant use cases such as space system oversight, autonomous coordination, and logistics optimization.
Tommy Battle, mayor of Huntsville, praised the project for cementing the city's place in the national innovation landscape and broadening its role in advanced tech development for both government and private sectors.
The Advantage2 will complete final testing in the coming weeks, after which it will be operationalized under national security protocols with collaborative initiatives across the defense sector already in planning.

The Details:&nbsp;Viking Therapeutics reported quarterly losses of&nbsp;41 cents&nbsp;per share, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;losses of 34 cents.
The company said the increase in the quarterly net loss was primarily due to the increase in research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses compared to the same period in 2024.

Research and development expenses were $41.4 million for the first quarter, compared to $24.1 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses related to manufacturing for the company&#8217;s drug candidates, clinical studies, stock-based compensation and salaries and benefits, partially offset by decreased expenses related to pre-clinical studies.
General and administrative expenses were $14.1 million for the first quarter compared to $10 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses related to legal and patent services, stock-based compensation and insurance, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits.
As of March 31, 2025, Viking held cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $852 million, compared to $903 million as of the end of 2024.
&#8220;In the first quarter of 2025, Viking continued to build on the strong momentum achieved in 2024,&#8221; stated Brian Lian, Ph.D., CEO of Viking.
&#8220;Throughout the first quarter we continued to ramp up activities in support of the initiation of Phase 3 trials with the subcutaneous formulation of VK2735, which are on track to begin later this quarter. In addition, during the first quarter, we not only announced the initiation of the Phase 2 VENTURE-Oral Dosing trial evaluating the tablet formulation of VK2735, but also the completion of enrollment in this study,&#8221; Lian added.

NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) saw its shares gain ground on Wednesday as optimism rose over a potential easing of<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44935649/alibaba-nio-pdd-shares-rise-amid-potential-de-escalation-of-china-trade-tensions-whats-going-on" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trade tensions between the United States and China.</a>
During a closed-door event hosted by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. in Washington, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted at the possibility of a thaw in the current tariff standoff on Tuesday, which has cast a shadow over cross-border commerce.
Meanwhile, Nio's sub-brand Onvo made headlines at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show by revealing its new flagship SUV, the L90.

Designed with space efficiency and family use in mind, the vehicle will hit the Chinese market later this year, CNeV Post <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/04/23/nio-onvo-unveils-l90-shanghai-auto-show/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Onvo's L90 boasts generous dimensions — stretching over 5.1 meters long — and includes a wheelbase exceeding 3.1 meters.
The vehicle accommodates six passengers while still offering a trunk capacity for seven standard 20-inch suitcases. Additionally, the front trunk (frunk) features 240 liters of space, enough to stow away two large suitcases and a compact one, which Onvo says is currently unmatched in China.
Eric Yu, head of product at Onvo, underscored the L90's storage credentials, citing its market-leading frunk volume among SUVs available domestically, CnEV Post adds.
