Elon Musk is now the most followed person on Twitter.

He does own the social media platform afterall, so it makes sense.

Elon now has 133.088 million followers. The top spot was previously held by Barack Obama with 133.042 million.

Apple is getting set to offer buy now, pay later options this Spring.

Apple will require a debit card and a bank account to make payments. Branded as “interest-free loans,” buy now, pay later services require you to download an app, link a bank account or debit or credit card, and sign up to pay in weekly or monthly installments.

There’s technically no interest, if you make the payments on time.

April Fools Day is tomorrow.

Many say the custom of playing practical jokes on this day originated with the reform of the calendar when New Year’s Day was moved from April 1st to January 1st. Those who clung to the old New Year’s Day were scoffed at as ‘fools’ and sent fake party invitations and prank gifts.
