Warren Buffett, Elon Musk and Larry Ellison have all accumulated huge followings on Twitter, but they had to start somewhere.

All these men have large net worths and personalities, but here's how they introduced themselves to a world capped at 140 characters.

1. Jack Dorsey

Probably one of the most famous tweets is also the first tweet ever. The CEO and co-founder of Twitter tweeted out in March of 2006:

2. Warren Buffett

Buffett is known for punchy catchphrases such as, “Buy businesses that can be run by idiots,” and, "The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything."

So it’s no surprise that Buffett’s first tweet comes as a short punchline.

Warren is in the house.

Just a few retweets. No big deal.

3. Elon Musk

There are plenty of fake Elon Musk accounts on Twitter, some of the funniest being @BoredElonMusk and @therichwiseman, but Musk made sure to let followers know his first tweet was legitimate:

He even used a smiley face. How nice.
