Elon Musk congratulates Modi for most followers; social media says he’s wrong

Elon Musk, the controversial CEO of Tesla and social networking site X (formerly known as Twitter), recently congratulated Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on becoming the most followed world leader.

Modi has 100.2 million followers on X, which are far less than Musk himself, who has 190.2 million.

While Modi’s followers along with Indian Media celebrated the tweet as an honour, many netizens reminded Musk of Barack Obama, former American President, who is far ahead of Modi with his 131.7 million followers on X.

National President of Indian Youth Congress, Srinivas tagged Elon Musk and wrote, “Is Barack Obama from another planet?”
