Twitter Vs Threads: Elon Musk sends a coded message to Mark Zuckerberg; Here’s what it is – Crypto News
The rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has intensified in recent weeks, particularly since the launch of Twitter’s rival app Threads. Notably, Musk and Zuckerberg were also slated for a cage fight but the fight was later canceled as per Twitter boss’ mother Maye Musk.
The launch of Meta’s latest social media offering Threads has only made the situation worse between the two companies. It didn’t help that the Meta team marketed its new app as ‘Twitter killer’ and the Threads team had many former Twitter employees as well.
Soon after the launch of Threads, Elon Musk threatened to sue Mark Zuckerberg in a letter sent using his lawyer Alex Spiro. Musk has accused Meta of engaging in “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.”Twitter claimed that Meta had recruited numerous former Twitter employees who had allegedly kept unauthorized devices and documents from their time at Twitter and these employees were assigned to work on the Threads app.
In a tweet that has since gone viral and amassed around 2.2 million views and 40,000, a parody account of Musk with the username @ElonMuskAOC shared a screenshot of a message that he claimed to have sent to the Meta CEO.
The message contained an image in the shape of a qr code with the F-word inscribed in the middle.
While the message was shared by a parody account it isn’t far from what Musk would have sent to the Meta CEO. In response to a screenshot of a conversation between Zuckerberg and burger chain Wendy’s on the Threads app, Musk replied ‘Zuck is a cuck’. The burger chain had asked the Meta CEO to go to space in order to really make Musk angry and Zuckerberg had replied with a laughing emoji.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that after initial success the hype surrounding Meta’s latest social media platform could be dying out. According to various data reports, Threads had approximately 49 million daily active users (DAU) when it first launched in early July. However, by the end of the second week, this number dropped by half to 23 million DAUs.
