Who acquired cult?

Could you elaborate on the phrase "who acquired cult" within the context of your paragraph? Are you referring to an individual, group, or entity that has gained a following or devoted fan base, akin to a cult-like following? Are we discussing a scenario where a person or group has deliberately cultivated a sense of exclusivity and devotion among their adherents, or is it a more accidental or unintended development? Clarifying these points would help me better understand and provide a relevant response to your question.
