What’s up with Barack Obama and Justin Timberlake on Facebook?
Barack Obama has officially handed off his presidential duties to Donald Trump and that includes the POTUS Twitter account.
Now that the former president has returned to his personal account, who is writing his tweets? Former presidents maintain a staff, so surely one of them is handling the job.
But according to Facebook, the answer is no. It’s Justin Timberlake.
Confused? If you try to share one of Obama’s tweets on Facebook, Justin Timberlake gets all of the credit.
Instead of “By Barack Obama,” all tweets posted on Facebook say, “By Justin Timberlake.”
Is Facebook trying to reveal some sort of secret conspiracy these two are plotting? Or, more likely, a random glitch that brings a bit of levity to a tense Inauguration Day.
