Edward Snowden has joined Twitter. The NSA whistleblower joined the social network on Tuesday, using @snowden as his handle.

"Can you hear me now?" he wrote as his very first tweet from the verified account.

Snowden had already gained 75,300 followers 30 minutes after launching the profile, but was only following one account: @NSAGov.

According to the Intercept, Snowden himself will be controlling the account.

Snowden said in a recent interview with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson that he planned on joining Twitter.

"You kind of need a Twitter handle. So like @Snowden, maybe? Is this something you might do?" Tyson asked.

"That sounds good, I think we've got to make it it happen," Snowden replied.

"You and I will be Twitter buddies," Snowden added. "Your followers will be: the Internet, me and the NSA.".
