Billions of {dollars} in debt, advertisers fleeing, income dropping, and every new paradigm-shifting 4D chess transfer of a brand new product a laughable and unthought-out result of impulsive administration, one quantity is transferring in the suitable course for Elon Musk: he by some means has extra Twitter followers than anybody else.

Quantity two is President Obama, who purchased none of his followers.

Fox:

Musk, who can be the platform’s proprietor and chief government, turned essentially the most {followed} account on Thursday night when he reached roughly 133.05 million followers, passing former President Barack Obama, who has about 133.04 million followers.

Justin Bieber is the third most-followed account with 113.31 million followers. The platform’s hottest accounts embody Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Cristiano Ronaldo, Donald J. Trump, and Girl Gaga.

I discover it entertaining that the oldsters at Fox painting Musk’s rising variety of followers as one thing he’s incomes, as if we’ve not heard sufficient tales about he is insisted the engineers sabotage the algorithms in his favor:

Musk’s ascension to the most-followed account could be attributed to how usually he tweets — often a number of instances each day — in comparison with Obama who tweets a number of instances throughout a given week and Bieber whose final tweet was in December. It additionally comes months after he bought Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022.
