Recently, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have been having an online battle from their own homes. The disagreement started because of the launch of Threads, a new app that competes with Twitter. Musk got upset when he saw a tweet between Wendy’s and Zuckerberg on Threads, where Wendy’s suggested that Zuckerberg should annoy Musk by going to space. Zuckerberg responded with a laughing emoji, which made Musk angry.
Musk then tweeted a derogatory term to insult Zuckerberg and challenged him to a “literal d**k measuring contest.” People had mixed opinions about Musk’s tweet, with some finding it offensive and others thinking it was a parody account. However, it was confirmed to be Musk’s genuine account.
Since Musk’s tweet, Zuckerberg has mostly stayed quiet, except for responding to a Threads user who accused Twitter of deliberately excluding the new app from trending topics. Zuckerberg replied with the word “concerning” and a laughing emoji, seemingly mocking Musk.
On the day Threads launched, Zuckerberg made a rare appearance on Twitter and shared a meme featuring two Spiderman characters pointing at each other. Many saw this as a dig at the similarities between Threads and Twitter.
When asked by MMA fighter Mike Davis on his new Threads account, Zuckerberg expressed his belief that there should be a public conversations app with over one billion users. He criticized Twitter for its unfriendly user experience and suggested that its failure to prioritize kindness is a reason for its lack of success.
In his conversation with Mike Davis, Zuckerberg expressed his hope that Threads can surpass Twitter and become a public conversations app with more than one billion users. He emphasized the importance of prioritizing kindness on his platform, acknowledging Twitter’s failure to do so as a factor in its lack of success.
