President Barack Obama has set a Guinness World Record for the fastest time to reach one million Twitter followers.
Obama tweeted through @POTUS a few days ago and was able to reach 1 million followers in “less than five hours” according to Guinness officials. The new world record smashes the previous one held by Robert Downey Jr. of 23 hours and 22 minutes.
The White House has also confirmed that @POTUS will be directly controlled by Obama, and all tweets will be “coming exclusively from him”.
Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.
