India, Aug. 5 -- MrBeast's latest charity push, TeamWater, has sparked a firestorm online - not for what it is doing, but for who it is trying to help. As the YouTuber launched his $40 million campaign to bring clean drinking water to 2 million people, a handful of trolls took to X to mock the effort.

The post exploded, racking up 3.7 million views and igniting backlash of its own.
