The owner of X (Twitter), Elon Musk is the most-followed person on the platform right now. He replaced Barack Obama as the most followed person on X (Twitter) back in March 2023. With an impressive count of 157.1 million followers as of September 2023, and has seen an increase of 3 million followers since August 2023. His Twitter handle, @elonmusk, is a must-follow for those looking to stay informed about his companies, such as @Tesla, @SpaceX, @xAI, and his thoughts on technology, innovation in the modern world, and his mission to land humans on the red planet, Mars.

Musk recently made significant changes to Twitter, renaming it to X and later changing its bird logo to just X to make his vision of X – The Everything App come to life. His takeover of Twitter in late 2022 resulted in the subsequent increase in the platform’s popularity. There were several copies recently launched in the market, such as Threads, a Twitter-like app’s announcement, which has also contributed to the growth of the platform.

If you haven’t already, be sure to follow @elonmusk for updates on X, SpaceX, Xai, and Tesla.


2. Barack Obama | 131.9 Million Followers

July 2023132 million-0.5 million
August 2023130 million-2 million
September 2023131.9 million+1.9 million

After getting replaced as the most followed person by Elon Musk, Barack Obama’s follower count is dropping fast. One reason could be a crackdown against fake bots on X (formerly Twitter). From the most followed individual to the second most followed person on Twitter, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, has currently 131.9 million followers on Twitter. His Twitter handle, @BarackObama, is a must-follow for those looking to stay informed and engaged with his ongoing political and social commentary. He also shares his philanthropic journey with his followers.

Known for his eloquence and ability to connect with people from all walks of life, it’s no surprise that former President Obama’s Twitter following has grown steadily since he first joined the platform in 2007. In fact, as of 2021, he had around 120 million followers; by December 2022, it was 133.3 million. And now, the number of followers has dropped to 131.9 million.


3. Justin Bieber | 111.7 Million Followers

July 2023111.8 million-1.7 million
August 2023111.7 million-0.1 million
September 2023111.7 million0

The third on the list of the most followed people on Twitter is none other than the famous singer, Justin Bieber. As of September 2023, Justin Bieber has 111.7 million followers on X (Twitter). That’s a huge drop from 113.7 million as noted by our team back in March 2023. Before this, Justin was the second most-followed personality on Twitter, later replaced by Elon Musk.

Justin Bieber used to have 114.1 million followers on Twitter back on August 1, 2022, however, it seems most followers were lost after a crackdown on Twitter’s bot accounts after Musk’s takeover. Justin also faced a slight drop in his followers by 200K as he recently sold rights to his music in a $200m deal.

Narendra Modi is currently India’s Prime Minister and just replaced Donald Trump from this position as the eighth most followed Twitter account. He also became the second most followed politician in history on Twitter. The controversial Indian political leader currently has 91.8 million followers on Twitter, with an increment of 5.5 million followers since February 2023’s 86.1 million followers count.

Modi has faced several controversies the most recent one is a documentary made by BBC UK on his role in the 2002 riots in Gujrat, India against Muslims. The Indian Govt. has reacted back and has thus banned BBC UK in India as a response.

You can find him on Twitter @narendramodi.


9. Donald Trump | 87.3 Million Followers

July 202386.5 million-1.1 million
August 202387 million+0.5 million
September 202387.3 million+0.3 million

On number nine, we have billionaire, business tycoon, showman, actor (he appeared in Home Alone), and 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

Trump wasn’t using his Twitter and was using his personal social media app, Truth Social. On August 25, Trump tweeted for the first time in 3 years after getting arrested. He shared his mug shot, which has gotten a record number of post views (263.4M) and likes (1.7M).

His account was reinstated by new Twitter owner Elon Musk after being suspended for two years. Trump currently has 87.3 million followers on Twitter as of September 2023.

The previous Twitter administration banned Trump for tweets against their policies. However, the decision seemed more political than just an administrative one. After taking over Twitter, Elon Musk, the new Chief Twitt, had a poll on his Twitter profile, where, millions of people voted in favor of Trump, resulting in reinstating Trump’s Twitter account.

Trump, however, has declined Elon Musk’s offer to come back to Twitter and prefers his own Truth Social platform. You can still follow him @realDonaldTrump.


Ariana Grande | 85.2 million [Deleted Dec. 2021]
