What Is MrBeast’s 'Live In A Jet For 100 Days Challenge'?

The "Live In A Jet For 100 Days" challenge initially gained viral attention in late December 2024 when X / Twitter user @FearedBuck reposted a clip from MrBeast's conversation with athlete Noah Lyles during a podcast interview.

The YouTuber explained that the participants would be required to last 100 days inside a private jet plane without being able to exit it but would be provided with anything they needed, including unlimited jet fuel, allowing them to remain stationary or travel worldwide.

Flying, however, is optional, as clarified by MrBeast to address safety concerns that many raised upon the video and challenge's premise garnering some backlash online. Additionally, many criticized the concept as being wasteful, as well as some who perceived it as merely boring, uninteresting and too easy.

The premise of MrBeast's live-in plane challenge quickly went viral, sparking a wave of memes and debates comparing the YouTuber's earlier eco-friendly campaigns, such as Team Trees and Team Seas, highlighting the stark contrast of the most recent venture.

For example, X user @M1das_OW2 posted a scathing take on the challenge on December 31st, 2024, writing "Remember when mr beast did stuff like team trees and team seas where he tried helping the planet instead of literally burning jet fuel for 100 days straight for content." The tweet racked up over 2 million views and 112,000 likes in just a few days.

Adding a more humoristic approach to the topic, X user and webcomic artist Fallenchungus posted a reaction meme questioning the feasibility of the challenge, writing "what does that mean.. what do you mean 'if they make it.'"
