Can Mr Beast sue til tok over this?

No, can only DMCA takedowns.

If he can find the creator or publisher, he can sue for misappropriation of name and likeness. It's a privacy tort.

However I think he already said he doesn't care

No, Section 230 protects TikTok as a platform. He would have to sue the ad creator.

Section 230 will absolutely reign here.
