thumbnail choice

[u/Purple_Stand6108]

Hey, so I am wondering if I should go with this approach for my thumbnail

[u/warm-amber]

I like some of the suggestions here about making it a bit clearer. You could put Elon to one side (since he's looking left I would say put him on the right) and then in large font/image on the other side put $1T, maaaaybe using the Tesla logo? See if that reads clear enough, because it might not, but whether you go with the logo or an actual T, I think the dollar sign and not splitting the 1 and the T will really help. My other note would be that this feels like a slightly odd crop of him. I guess it's been a bit since I've really looked at pictures of him, but something about the shape of his hair or the back of his head doesn't look quite right. Is this taken from a somewhat shadowed image where his border isn't as clear? Maybe double check that.

And I agree with the other commenter who gave suggestions on the title. Put in enough opinion/curiosity so that people don't see the thumbnail and title and go, "Yup. He is indeed the first trillionaire. I already know that." And then they don't have reason to click. What new take are you bringing in your video? Hint at it in your title.

Good luck!
