Christmas has come and gone but the White House decided on Wednesday to give a small 10-digit present on their official X, formerly Twitter, page, the present being US President Joe Biden's phone number.
"Call him, beep him if you want reach President Biden," the White House wrote on X, attaching a phone number at the bottom.

Many of the commentors on the post seemed skeptical of the phone number.
"That's not a set-up of any kind," one person commented on the post.
"I'd advise everyone against messaging this number," another person wrote.
What is this number? Is it real?
One commenter posted a screenshot of the message that they received after texting the number. The message that was sent was an automated message, something many Hollywood celebrities started using as a way to keep their fans in the loop about a lot of different things, like album releases, tours and more.
The automated message read: "Hey there, it's President Biden. Thanks for reaching out - I'm excited to be connected.
