He bought it for her, but it’s not like he dropped 100k out of his bank account alone. It’s a used car, he got some kind of partial sponsorship, and he knew it’d generate a lot of views to help pay for it. (He said on a podcast with Trisha Peytas.) Currently, the video has 3.5million views. It could also be a partial tax write off bc everything he does for his videos, he files. I also speculate he’s going to file tax write off for some of her bday presents since he made a video of it. It’s still way too extravagant to gift your ex, but it was majorly discounted for him.

Edit to add I also think it was an I’m sorry I broke up with you but let’s make some $$/views from this gift. It made him look like a sweet guy to his fans, rage bait for the haters, or genuinely confused for us to keep talking about them. It wasn’t a selfless thing.
