Mark Zuckerberg has declared war on Twitter's strategy as $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ rolls out its new app, Threads—by describing Elon Musk's social media giant as unfriendly and short of reaching its full potential.
"It'll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it," Zuckerberg wrote when asked on Threads whether the app will be "bigger than Twitter."

In less than 24 hours after launch, Threads has signed up more than 30 million users, surged to the top of app store download charts.
The launch also drew a sharply-worded legal letter from a Twitter lawyer who blasted Threads as a "copycat" based on improperly obtained "trade secrets."
"Competition is fine, cheating is not", Twitter boss Elon Musk tweeted.

Threads is designed as a direct rival to Twitter and resembles Twitter in its format, dynamics and even name, — "threads" on Twitter are a series of connected tweets from one account.
Here's how specific features compare in Threads, Instagram and Twitter.

Mooers, who will win the competition, Elon or Zuck?

  • MorrisJen75 : They are both con men with no common sense. The question really is, which one will the willfully ignorant public embrace?  Answer: it doesn’t matter because while the majority are occupied playing god in their one-man phone universes, big companies are ushering in wide spread economic and environmental disaster to ensure our futures are equally short and painful.
