There are several notable figures that use this social network to promote themselves. Some of these include Elon Musk, Rihanna, Ellen Degeneres, and Justin Bieber. If you&#8217;d like to learn more about their social media strategies, read on! But before you jump into this article, you should know that the following is not a comprehensive list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elon_Musk\"><\/span>Elon Musk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder Elon Musk is the number one follower on Twitter. As the world&#8217;s richest person, Musk has been largely absent from Twitter over the past week. Known for roasting ideological opposites and ranting on the platform, Musk has steadily increased his following. Despite this, some critics consider his tweets vile, while fans view them as a witty, bitter truth.<\/p>\n<p>As of the beginning of June, Musk averaged more than 145 tweets per week, or around 21 tweets per day. SpaceX employees signed an open letter condemning his tweets, and some questioned whether he was a distraction for their work. Nevertheless, the tweeting activity was slowing down after the open letter, but Musk did not publicly acknowledge that he was taking a break.<\/p>\n<p>The news about Musk&#8217;s Twitter following has also sparked some discussion among tech followers. Since the first day of April, Elon Musk has gained more than 17 million Twitter followers. In the first quarter of this year, Twitter reported 229 million monetizable daily users. In addition, Musk is the number one follower of the number one CEO of Tesla. This is a significant milestone for an already-billionaire on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rihanna\"><\/span>Rihanna<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no denying that Rihanna is one of the most popular and influential people on Twitter. She has won nine Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, 13 American Music Awards, and eight People&#8217;s Choice Awards. And she hasn&#8217;t stopped there. The pop star is also a fashion designer and entrepreneur, and she has more than 102 million followers. Rihanna&#8217;s popularity and engagement rate are also high, with an average of 175,983 likes per tweet and 17,361 retweets.<\/p>\n<p>While the number of followers on Twitter is a big deal, it&#8217;s also important to note that Rihanna has more than double the number of followers of billionaire Elon Musk. The billionaire recently bid $44 billion to acquire Twitter, so Rihanna is the top follower on Twitter. Elon Musk, who has a whopping 109 million followers, follows Rihanna, but only 2% of him.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Bieber\"><\/span>Justin Bieber<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just how did Justin Bieber become the number one follower on Twitter? The answer is quite complicated. According to his Twitter profile, 90 percent of his tweets are links. In fact, he is following more people than Lady Gaga. His following-to-followers ratio is 7:1. In other words, he has more than seven people following him than he is being followed.<\/p>\n<p>Bieber has been on Twitter for 101 months, and his average monthly activity is one million followers. The first month he added over one million followers was in November 2011, and since then he has averaged adding over 1 million followers per month. This record is unmatched by any other musician. He has been removing negative tweets regularly, and continues to be the number one follower on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The next time you&#8217;re tweeting with Justin Bieber, use his hashtag #100MBBeliebers to unlock special emojis. You can also follow fans who&#8217;ve recently followed him. That way, he&#8217;ll get a notification whenever they follow him. Just make sure to follow those who followed him recently, so you can follow back. It&#8217;s a great way to be seen by Justin himself!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ellen_Degeneres\"><\/span>Ellen Degeneres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The number one follower on Twitter is none other than Ellen DeGeneres. The talk show host is best known for her wildly popular talk show. She is also an actor, having starred in Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. You can follow her Twitter account to see clips from recent episodes of her show. If you want to follow the latest news on Ellen, this is the account to follow.<\/p>\n<p>According to the social media tracking site Social Blade, Ellen DeGeneres has eighty million followers on Twitter. That makes her the ninth most followed person on Twitter. She also has a rapidly growing Instagram account, gaining over a million followers per month. The controversy surrounding Ellen DeGeneres has forced the company that produces her show to launch an investigation into sexual harassment allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the Number 1 Follower on Twitter?
