Exciting news for fans of Dr Disrespect as the popular streamer might be expanding his broadcasting horizons to X, following the recent monetization of his account. The past months have been a rollercoaster for Dr Disrespect, especially after facing revenue loss from his YouTube streams in June due to the revelation of the reason behind his Twitch ban.
In a significant move on November 25, Rumble, the free speech platform, announced Dr Disrespect's arrival to lead their gaming section, appointing him as an advisor. This partnership not only boosted Rumble's market value by $200 million but also marked a successful debut for Dr Disrespect on the platform, attracting 40,000 viewers during his first stream while simultaneously streaming on YouTube.

Despite his recent success on Rumble, speculations are rife that Dr Disrespect might be eyeing another platform, X, as fans noticed the monetization of his account. Dr Disrespect had hinted at potential content on X back in September when he returned to YouTube amidst allegations, playfully urging viewers to "subscribe on X" in a skit featuring 'Robo Doc.'
After months of anticipation, Dr Disrespect's X account was finally monetized on December 12, with the subscribe button becoming active. Reacting to the news, Dr Disrespect expressed surprise, stating, "I haven't prepared anything... yet."
There is a possibility that Dr Disrespect could dual-stream on X and Rumble before transitioning to exclusive content on Rumble Premium. X made its foray into the streaming industry in September with X Gaming and has since onboarded creators like TimTheTatman.

Fans of Dr Disrespect are thrilled at the prospect of him expanding to X. One fan commented, "This is a good move... cover every platform you possibly can for convenience purposes." Another praised Dr Disrespect's entrepreneurial spirit, stating, "Let's go! I knew he would utilize X eventually. That's the ambitious entrepreneur in him."
Another intriguing hint at Dr Disrespect's potential move to X Gaming is his 'Make Gaming Great Again' merchandise line, a slogan echoed by Rumble's CEO Chris Pavlovski and even Elon Musk. Elon Musk, on November 27, announced his plans to establish an AI game studio to "make video games great again" and teased the acquisition of Hasbro to secure the rights to D&D.
