Elon Musk Surpasses Barack Obama as Twitter's Most Followed Account

Elon Musk has become the most followed person on Twitter with approximately 133.05 million followers, surpassing former President Barack Obama. Justin Bieber is the third most-followed account with 113.31 million followers. Musk's frequent tweeting and ownership of the platform are attributed to his rise in followers. He has also been implementing changes to the platform, including the introduction of Twitter Blue, a monthly subscription service that allows accounts to keep their verification status. The free verification service is set to expire on April Fool's Day, which Musk has teased will be "glorious."
