Elon Musk Surpasses Barack Obama to Become Most-Followed Person on Twitter

Elon Musk has become the most followed person on Twitter, surpassing former President Barack Obama. This came after Musk ordered his engineers to create a system that boosts his tweets following the Super Bowl on February 12. Reportedly, this was due to Musk’s tweet about the Super Bowl not receiving as many impressions as a similar tweet from President Joe Biden. As a result, Musk deleted his ‘flopped’ tweet and threatened to fire his engineering team if they did not fix the engagement issue. His follower count has been steadily increasing since then and currently stands at 133,089,608, while Obama’s follower count has decreased to 133,042,468.
