While you can't stop someone from following you on X permanently, you can remove specific followers by blocking them, then immediately unblocking them. This effectively removes them from your list of followers. Additionally, you can set your account to 'Protected Tweets' mode under settings, which requires new followers to be approved by you. This won't affect existing followers, but prevents unwanted people from following you without your consent in the future.
