Mark Zuckerberg Ramped Up His Elon Feud By Appearing To Tweet For The First Time In Over A Decade After Launching His ‘Twitter Killer’ Threads
"The beef between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk isn’t just about the cage fight that may or may not happen. (And may not go well for Musk if it does.) It’s about the fact that the former is trying to snuff out the latter’s social media service. On Wednesday, the Meta honcho launched Threads, his long-threatened “Twitter killer” (as some techies have dubbed it). He even did it a day early. But to really rub it in, Zuckerberg did something else: He tweeted for the first time in over a decade.
Zuckerberg’s post was simple, perhaps even inevitable: It was a meme, specifically the one of two Spider-Men pointing at each other. The joke was obvious: He was joking about how he’d created a Twitter clone, one that’s supposed to if not kill Twitter then at least provide the services Twitter, under Musk, no longer does.
“I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it,” Zuckerberg posted on Threads shortly after it went life. “Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will.”"
