MrBeast, for reasons that are only known to him, has decided to fire upon one Lamborghini with tanks, and to send another into a junkyard shredder
10 hours ago
Infamous YouTube personality MrBeast, also known as James Stephen Donaldson, has turned his view- and ad-generating machine on again and aimed it at the automotive world. The content creator has decided not only to put a Lamborghini Gallardo through a shredder, but to attempt to blow another one up with tanks.
In what can only be described as an exhaustively frenetic video, the YouTuber moves from massive explosion to massive explosion, before culminating in his crimes against raging bulls. But it works. Released four days ago, the video has already been seen 77 million times.
The final segment of this hyperactive piece of content sees MrBeast convey a Lamborghini Gallardo (which, based on the rear wing, may be a Superleggera model) into a junkyard shredder.

There really isn’t much more to it than that, but as the host admits at the end, and as can be seen through the empty engine bay in the video, the car has been decommissioned. What led it to end up in a junkyard we can only guess at, because MrBeast seems not to care.
In what turns out to be a more tense (and therefore more interesting scene), the YouTuber threatens to destroy another Gallardo with tanks, unless another man, Adam, can protect it. If he succeeds, the Lamborghini is his.
Adam is given 48 hours to construct his defensive structure, and decides to build a pair of sand-filled cinder block walls, with stacked cars between them. These prove to be effective at deflecting the tank shells, which is enormously helpful.
What proves to be the final stroke of genius is the installation of a selection of above ground pools in front of the car. This last line of defense works exceptionally well, catching a shell just before it would have otherwise hit the car. In the end, the car is spared from destruction.
The why and the how of all of this are never explained, but the hunt for views, ads and pacing designed to hold the attention of sugar-filled 13-year-olds between rounds of harassing each other in video game lobbies certainly make for a stunning amount of content in this 14-minute video.
