Zuckerberg Trolled Musk Hard With His First Tweet In Over A Decade After Launching Competitor

The Meta CEO tweeted a familiar Spider-Man meme on Wednesday after launching Threads, which tech experts have dubbed the 'Twitter killer.'

The rivalry between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk has extended beyond the hypothetical cage fight as the former attempts to suppress the latter's social media platform.

In a strategic move, Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, unveiled Threads, his much-anticipated "Twitter killer," a day earlier than expected. Notably, Zuckerberg accompanied the launch with his first tweet in over a decade, solidifying the direct challenge to Musk's control over Twitter.


Zuckerberg's tweet was straightforward, yet packed with significance. He shared a meme featuring two Spider-Men pointing at each other, symbolizing the creation of a Twitter clone. The underlying joke highlighted Zuckerberg's attempt to offer services that Twitter, under Musk's leadership, may have failed to provide.

People loved it—and immediately got out the popcorn.


Shortly after Threads went live, Zuckerberg expressed his vision for the app, stating:

"I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn't nailed it. Hopefully, we will."

Zuckerberg's strategic move came at a time when Twitter faced recent challenges, including glitches and restrictions on the number of visible tweets, leading even its co-founder Jack Dorsey to express empathy.

Threads, an extension of Instagram, enables users to conveniently subscribe to all their Instagram connections with a single click. This streamlined process contributes to the rapid expansion of Threads' user base, allowing individuals to create an account within minutes.

In contrast, Bluesky Social, a Twitter alternative associated with Dorsey, remains in its Beta phase and requires users to painstakingly rebuild their following.

Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, described Threads as an "open, friendly" platform, highlighting its differentiation from Twitter.

Twitter's blue checkmarks, once exclusive to famous and notable individuals, are now predominantly associated with Musk supporters who pay a monthly fee. Threads aims to foster a more inclusive environment where users can engage without such barriers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
