How do i make 1M friends who always respond to my messages within 1 min

Become a country-changing leader. Brazilian ex-president Lula has 100 milion friends (and other 100 milion enemies). Both sides would answer him in 1 minute.
This is probably one of the weirdest questions I've seen on HN, but I'll bite anyways:
Without spoiling the plot of a certain film, you'd want to be an AI or augmented human capable of maintaining one million relationships simultaneously. Simple.

Why 1M and not 1B? Why 1 minute and not 10 seconds?
Both sets of values seem unobtainable to the average "random Joe".
Perhaps you can divulge why you require such arbitrary values?

You won't make 1M friends, but for any given much lower N number of friends, to get them to respond within 1 min, increase the signal-to-noise ratio of your messages, and message them infrequently.
Better yet, ask yourself: why do I need (or feel the need for) people to respond to my messages within 1 min? What is wrong with my outlook and time management?

Contact 1 million people and tell them you will transfer $1000 to them as long as they respond within one minute. Do a test. Probably 10% will respond so pay them the $100 billion. Repeat the exercise until you find 1 million reliable people probably after 10 tries or so. This will only cost you about $1 trillion.
$100 or even $50 or mabye even $10 might work too if you need to save on cost
Offer them only what will benefit them in the short and long term, be they words thoughts or deeds, and eventually people will lovingly rely on your language, words, and presence because you have been thinking so much of how to be of aid to them.
Sounds like you were asked a ridiculous interview question.
If you a few hundred trillion friends and at least a million will respond in the first minute. Either that or you need to make friends with a million robots
A web based fire alert system can help. The system becomes responsive by broadcasting a Help message to the million friends if one of them raises an alarm.
build 1M bot and host them on aws. now, you have 1M bot friends. simple.
Hire 1M Friends.
you would need to be really famous.
Build an army.
Also, I think given how little quality time you can give to each friend, you need to have very convincing qualities that may not be achieved by technology alone (if you're thinking about automation of relationship management).
