Meanwhile, Legit.ng also notes that Biden has released his first tweet as president.
According to Aljazeera, shortly after delivering his inaugural address, the @POTUS Twitter account sent its first tweet from Biden.
The tweet reads:
“There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face. That’s why today, I am heading to the Oval Office to get right to work delivering bold action and immediate relief for American families."
The @POTUS Twitter handle transferred from Trump, who was suspended from major social media platforms, to Biden just before Biden was sworn in as president and, controversially, Twitter reset the number of followers to zero upon the transfer.
