PM Modi is among the few political leaders whom Elon Musk follows on the platform. The list also includes former President Barack Obama, who was overtaken by Twitter's top boss as the most followed person.

Ever since the news of Musk following PM Modi went viral, Twitter was taken by storm and netizens have now reacted to this interesting development. While one of the users wondered if the setting up of a Tesla factory is possible, another user took a swipe at Congress leader and disqualified Member of Parliament, Rahul Gandhi.

Ever since Musk took over Twitter in October 2022, he has been making the headlines for different reasons. Recently, it was reported that Musk has decided to remove 'W' from Twitter and changed the Twitter icon to Dogecoin instead of the blue bird.
