Mark Zuckerberg: On the same day as Meta Platforms unveiled Threads, a much-anticipated rival to Musk’s microblogging network, Mark Zuckerberg sent his first tweet in almost 10 years, jokingly tease Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter. With his tweet, Zuckerberg, who isn’t typically renowned for posting memes on social media, imitated Musk’s odd demeanour. Furthermore, since the platform’s introduction, Zuckerberg has been actively “threading” on it, reacting to a number of famous users. If submitting a tweet qualifies as tweeting, why can’t we call its opposite “threading”?
Threads Launches as Instagram’s Response to Musk’s Struggling Social Media Platform
On July 6, Instagram, the Meta-owned photo-sharing service, debuted Threads, which is expected to present a serious threat to Musk’s faltering social media platform. Soon later, Zuckerberg posted a picture of two similar Spider-Men squabbling on Twitter. The last time Zuckerberg posted a tweet was probably in 2012, as he doesn’t often use the service. It happens two weeks after Musk urged him to engage in a cage match.
Meta CEO Adopts Musk-like Tactics to Promote Threads
Zuckerberg isn’t well-known for being very active on social media, in contrast to Musk, who is well-known for his frequent wacky tweets. On his Facebook page, he frequently gives updates about Meta goods as well as occasionally posts images or videos of his family trips and July 4th celebrations. Zuckerberg has been actively replying to friends and famous people on Threads since the platform’s introduction, practically imitating Musk’s answers area on Twitter. Of course, it is obvious that this is just a strategy to advertise Threads. It’s intriguing to note, meanwhile, how Zuckerberg has recently adopted strategies from his greatest social media competitor in an effort to draw in more and more users.
Musk’s $44 Billion Purchase Followed by Restructuring and Policy Controversy
Since Musk paid $44 billion to buy Twitter in October of last year, the firm has let go of many staff, eased its content control guidelines, and experienced technological issues that both users and advertisers found frustrating. Twitter recently made a contentious policy change that limited the number of tweets users could access each day. Musk described this restriction as a “temporary” approach to prevent data scrapers and bots. In a Threads post, Zuckerberg highlighted his aim for a platform for public discourse with more over one billion users, emphasising Twitter’s missing potential to realise this ambition. He hopes Threads will be able to successfully fill this gap.
