TenCents01 (also referred to under the alias, Ben) created his account on June 3, 2007 and was one of the more famous past YouTubers in the Thomas Wooden Railway Community. He was known for his huge collection with many rare items, including at least one White Face Troublesome Truck. He was also one of the first people to use eBay for purchasing rare/collectible Thomas Wooden Railway items. He also uploaded an 80's remix of Matthew Wilder's song "Break My Stride" which is very popular among Thomas fans.
Collection[]
TenCents01 was best known for his layouts and collection. He had almost all of the rare TWR items (such as the White Face Troublesome Truck and first edition Knapford Express coach) and his layouts consisted of almost all Clickity-Clack track (which is difficult to come by, since it is retired). Many current users have hopes of owning a fantastic collection like him.
Leaving YouTube[]
TenCents01 quietly left YouTube around late 2010. His final video was uploaded on August 3, 2010. His collection and many different videos will make his legacy last in the Thomas Wooden Railway Community. He will not be forgotten.
After years of widespread speculation, Blue Midwest Mysteries co-hosts, MrMPS2002 and Percyno6, confirmed that TenCents01's real-life identity was Elon Musk. In response to this information leak, Musk tweeted out "Destiny, destiny / No escaping / that for me" on December 28, 2020. This quote, taken from Young Frankenstein, was taken by most community members as a pointed attack at MrMPS' mismanagement of the Tesla-sponsored MPBot program. At the time of the controversy, Grimes was not available for comment.
