Less than a week after its launch, Meta’s Threads user base has soared to 100 million, making it the first mobile app ever to reach the milestone in such a short period of time.
Twitter boss Elon Musk took to Twitter to slam Mark Zuckerberg, calling him a “softie” and holding an “unspeakable” measuring contest with him. Measurement contest.
Elon Musk has been highly critical of Threads, a direct competitor to Twitter since Meta launched it last week. Over the past few days, Musk has been focusing on Threads, saying that Threads is “just Instagram stripped of images, which doesn’t make sense because starved images are the main reason people use the app.” Musk even filed a lawsuit against the company, accusing Meta of poaching former Twitter employees to create a “copycat” app.
Today Musk’s attack on Zuckerberg was even more direct, escalating directly to a personal attack.
It’s worth noting that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been at odds for a long time, and the two even made an open appointment to fight.
Elon Musk’s Twitter is still in the lead, with an estimated 368 million Twitter users worldwide as of December 2022, according to Statista.
