Elon Musk dethroned former US President Barack Obama as the most followed person on Twitter. According to the number of followers reported on their profile, Musk currently has 133,079,858 followers on Twitter. Obama has 133,041,884 followers as of now.Musk’s purchase of Twitter for $44 billion undoubtedly helped his follower count surpass Obama’s. The Twitter chief hit 100 million followers last June, and that number continued to grow in the months that followed, especially after the acquisition.
Musk uses Twitter differently than others
In addition to posting random and sometimes offensive memes, Musk also uses his account to post various changes coming to Twitter. Some of his tweets are even perceived as “speculation” and are believed to have been shared for a reason. Musk also conducts polls on some critical issues from his Twitter account. For example, whether Donald Trump should be allowed to return to the platform. As a result of this survey, Trump’s closed account was opened. On the other hand, Musk has not yet complied with the “resign” result of the survey he opened on whether he should resign. Musk also said that he will resign when he finds a suitable person in this regard.Musk’s sharing habits are in stark contrast to Obama’s, who often uses his account for professional purposes such as supporting an important cause or highlighting some of his work as president. The same goes for Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, who are the third and fourth most followed on Twitter.
