Sounds like a good time to make Mr Beast aware of these, he has a lot of disposable income to burn on a lawsuit or three.

If 500m could take down Meta, I bet we could crowd fund that shit. Someone set up a GoFundMe!
Just get Elon Musk to buy it.
These scam ads have been an issue for at least a year. I’m pretty sure they’re automated and there’s very little that can be done to trace them to their original sources. I’m sure if Mr. Beast did threaten to sue Meta, then they would just start filtering “beast” from ads.
Start by holding the ad account holder liable. When I worked in digital marketing and ran ad accounts, I had to upload my driver's license.
You live in a civilized country.
There are others where you can get a stack of fake drivers licenses for a couple groshen.
Honestly protecting vulnerable people from these scams is probably more generous than the usual philanthropy he does
