Twitter competitor Threads launches today, and Elon Musk openly mocks it while sharing recent Twitter conversation.
Former Twitter CEO Elon Musk engaged in a Twitter exchange where he took a jab at Meta’s Instagram and Threads, escalating the ongoing rivalry between him and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The confrontation started when Meta launched its new app, Threads, which is positioned as a competitor to Twitter.
Elon Musk Reacts to the Launch of Threads:
Mario Nawfal announced the release date for Meta’s Threads app, which was positioned as a competitor to Twitter. In response, Elon Musk made a sarcastic comment about the claim of Meta being “sanely run,” implying concerns about Meta’s data collection practices.
Elon Musk expressed his preference for facing criticism from strangers on Twitter rather than seeking artificial happiness on Instagram, in response to a tweet discussing his departure email from the Instagram platform on July 6, 2023.
Shortly after the launch of Threads, Mark Zuckerberg shared a tweet with a picture of two identical Spider-Men confronting each other, representing the rivalry between himself and Elon Musk. Within a few hours, Threads had already gained millions of users, including well-known celebrities such as Shakira and Jack Black.
Will Threads Replace Twitter?
Threads positions itself as a strong competitor to Twitter, offering features like text and link posting, message replies, and content sharing. However, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey expressed concerns about the app’s privacy aspects. He shared a screenshot illustrating how Threads could potentially gather user data such as contacts, location, sensitive information, purchase history, and browsing activity.
Elon Musk playfully reacted to the release of Threads by posting a laughing face emoji in response to a tweet that humorously suggested the app was created using a simple copy-and-paste function with a keyword.
It is uncertain how Meta’s Threads will perform against the well-established dominance of Twitter, but the ongoing rivalry between Musk and Zuckerberg guarantees that the competition for social media supremacy will persist.
