After Meta’s Twitter competitor, ‘Threads’, launched, for the first time in more than ten years, CEO Mark Zuckerberg tweeted. Zuckerberg uploaded the famous Spider Man facing off meme on Thursday, seemingly making fun of Twitter founder Elon Musk and the launch of its replacement. However, the post was left without a caption.

According to experts, Threads is going to be the biggest challenger to Elon Musk’s Twitter.

While replying to a tweet, Musk posted a laughing face emoticon that said Threads has been made using a keyword with only the keys for Copy and Paste features. 

After the launch of Threads on Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg, almost after a decade, tweeted a picture of identical spider-men facing off against each other.

What ‘Threads’ will offer the user?

Threads is a text-based software that was created by the Instagram team that enables users to publish posts up to 500 characters long. It was formally launched on Thursday and is regarded as Twitter’s greatest danger to yet.

Since Musk’s takeover, Twitter has been plagued by outages and other problems. An Instagram account can be used to sign into the app. On Threads, posts may also contain images and brief, high-definition videos.

It seems that some of the missteps of Twitter will benefit ‘Threads’. Since Musk acquired the company for $44 billion in October, it has cut down the jobs of thousands of employees, loosened content moderation policies, and put users and advertisers through a spate of technical challenges. Also, in the latest controversial policy change, Twitter limited the number of tweets users can view daily, however, the company calls it temporary.
