Elon Musk Becomes The Most Followed Twitter User

WRITTEN BY YASH SINGH

Elon Musk really enjoys spending time on Twitter. So much so that he bought the company last year.

He recently became the most followed user on the micro-blogging site Twitter. With over 133 million followers, the Tesla CEO has dethroned former President Barack Obama.

The popular platform, which is now owned by Musk, has around 450 million monthly active users.

This means that approximately 30 percent of them follow Musk. When he bought Twitter in October last year, Musk had 110 million followers.

He was behind Obama and Justin Bieber. Since then, the 51-year-old billionaire has gained more than 23 million followers.

In just a month's time, both Obama and Bieber have lost around 267,585 and 118,950 followers respectively.

In comparison, the new Twitter chief has gained more than three million followers. He was getting over 100,000 new followers each day.

Ever since he bought Twitter, Musk has been struggling with the company to generate profit.
