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.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
