We all want to be famous, but who has the most? You can follow Elon Musk, Ashton Kutcher, and Taylor Swift, but which one has more? This article will shed some light on the topic. The following are some of the most prominent Twitter users:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taylor_Swift\"><\/span>Taylor Swift<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The recent news about Taylor Swift&#8217;s Twitter account has caused quite a stir, as the singer is currently the third most popular person on the website. Swift&#8217;s account, with a handle of @taylorswift13, has surpassed President Barack Obama in the Twitter rankings. With 70 million followers, Swift is currently second only to Katy Perry and Justin Bieber. In fact, Swift has said that 13 is her lucky number.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have questioned how Swift got so many followers on Twitter, and some have suggested that she was snubbed by the network. However, a deeper look at Swift&#8217;s account reveals that the account predates her official Taylor Swift account. The former singer&#8217;s account joined Twitter in December 2008 as @taylorswift13. This shows that the account was active as early as June 29, 2008!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ellen_DeGeneres\"><\/span>Ellen DeGeneres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no surprise that talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has more followers than any other celebrity. Her followers have more than doubled since the start of her daytime talk show, which is set to end on May 26. In fact, Ellen has more followers on Twitter than any other celebrity. However, the question is why? Whether Ellen&#8217;s daily tweets are the reason for the increase in followers, or if she&#8217;s simply being lazy, the answer is probably no.<\/p>\n<p>While Ellen DeGeneres is widely loved and regarded as one of the world&#8217;s most influential TV hosts, the controversial personality has also been accused of being mean. Ellen often ends her shows by reminding her audience to be nice, but her reputation as an obnoxious person has surfaced following a viral Twitter thread and a controversial YouTube retelling. In the meantime, despite the negative buzz, DeGeneres&#8217; Instagram account continues to gain over a million followers per month.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elon_Musk\"><\/span>Elon Musk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially passed the one-hundred million follower mark on Twitter. The milestone was reached last week, with a gain of more than one hundred thousand followers over two days. Since his last tweet on June 27, Musk hasn&#8217;t tweeted a single thing, though he did post a picture of a 7-Eleven gas station with seven-tenths prices on gas.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, has a tumultuous history on Twitter. He recently made headlines by tweeting about building an underground tunnel system and challenging Russian President Vladimir Putin. The billionaire and Twitter entrepreneur has a checkered past, but he continues to draw attention by tweeting about his vision for Tesla and his fears for the world&#8217;s population&#8217;s collapse.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons why Musk is attracting so many followers is because he&#8217;s so famous. He&#8217;s become a twit to the public and a bully to politicians and regulators. While Musk&#8217;s tweets are often witty and insightful, some have a dark side. His Twitter account often contains comments that are both anti-business and anti-people. Despite his wealth, he is a hypocrite when it comes to his personal opinions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ashton_Kutcher\"><\/span>Ashton Kutcher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ashton Kutcher, the actor and husband of Demi Moore, has more followers on Twitter than CNN. Kutcher&#8217;s Twitter account boasts more than eight hundred thousand followers, and CNN has 921 million. In comparison, CNN has about half of Ashton&#8217;s followers. CNN is also the top media outlet on Twitter. The two networks have a long history of social media rivalries. In 2010, CNN bought Ashton Kutcher&#8217;s Twitter account to promote its TV show, but this move didn&#8217;t do much for CNN&#8217;s profile. Ashton Kutcher was able to stay on message and inspire his followers to follow him.<\/p>\n<p>Ashton Kutcher was the first celebrity to reach one million Twitter followers. The movie star was surrounded by his family members as he crossed the million mark. He pipped CNN Breaking News by a few hundred followers, but CNN later congratulated him and thanked him for his achievement. While Kutcher was the first to reach the million-follower mark, other celebrities have legitimate reasons to be followed. Lady Gaga was a worldwide music sensation, Justin Bieber owns children, and Barack Obama is the President of the United States.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BAPCmGYxHDY\" height=\"255\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Has More Followers on Twitter?
