Elon Musk will no doubt be kicking his feet in the dirt as a brand new Twitter rival, Threads has gone live – and people are loving it!
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, launched the new text-based app on Wednesday (July 5). Basically, it’s trying to be like Twitter, by offering longer posts and accounts linked to Instagram.
And to be honest, we can see why a ton of Twitter users have flocked over to download the new app. Elon, who bought Twitter back in October, has riled up people recently after introducing several changes to the platform.
Elon Musk dealt blow as Twitter rival app launches
According to Threads, they say the app is: “Where communities come together to discuss everything from the topics you care about today to what’ll be trending tomorrow.
“Whatever it is you’re interested in, you can follow and connect directly with your favourite creators and others who love the same things — or build a loyal following of your own to share your ideas, opinions and creativity with the world.”
Bad timing for Elon?
It couldn’t be worse timing for Elon, who is one of the richest people in the world. The billionaire left many Twitter users fuming recently when he put a restriction on how many tweets a non-verified account can see.
So, in a bid to cash in, Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg decided to launch Threads. And it’s fair to say fans are totally into the new app. Here’s some of the best memes that don’t hold back about Elon!
Even “goodbye Twitter” is trending on the social media app, as many users move over to Threads.
He must be fuming!
