Threads App Nearly Reaches 100 Million Users, Ignites Legal Battle, and Sparks Musk-Zuckerberg Showdown

Threads, the latest brainchild of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is taking the social media world by storm. Now at 97 million users, this messaging app is closing in on the highly coveted milestone of 100 million users at an astonishing rate.

Other platforms’ previous record-setting user adoption rates don’t even come close in comparison.

• Instagram reached 100 million users in two and a half years.

• TikTok reached 100 million users in nine months.

• ChatGPT reached 100 million users in two months.

By the time you’re reading this, Threads will have reached 100 million users in less than one week.

Fair game or foul play?

Amidst Threads' meteoric rise, Twitter has fired shots at Facebook, sending a strongly worded letter demanding an end to the alleged misappropriation of "trade secrets."

Twitter claims Meta poached ex-employees with access to trade secrets and confidential info. Apparently, many of these former employees retained Twitter documents and devices after their departure.

Meta allegedly tasked these employees to rapidly develop Threads, utilizing stolen intellectual property, violating laws and their obligations to Twitter.

Evidence supporting Twitter's claims remains to be seen, but it highlights the cutthroat nature of the tech industry with rivals vying for dominance and seeking to protect their intellectual property.

Musk criticized Meta on Twitter, stating, "Competition is fine, cheating is not."

“Zuck is a cuck”

In no uncertain terms, Twitter CEO Elon Musk called Zuck a ‘cuck’ after days of online controversy over the new Threads app.

He then doubled down on this tweet by saying, “I propose a literal dick-measuring contest.”

You can’t make this up, folks.

For weeks, the tech and fighting world has been buzzing with anticipation as Musk, the enigmatic Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX CEO, prepares for a showdown with Zuckerberg.

Clearly, Musk is ready to throw hands now if he wasn’t before.

With world champion fighters like George St. Pierre in his corner, he may have a real chance at defeating the jiujitsu phenom, Zuck.

The potential for a "Musk vs. Zuckerberg fight of the century" has generated immense hype, pitting two influential tech titans against each other in a battle that promises to deliver memes for a lifetime.

In case you think this is total malarkey, UFC President Dana White has even said this fight is “very real” so if there’s even a real chance it could happen, it just might.

With Threads' unprecedented growth, a brewing legal feud, and the clash of tech giants on the horizon, the tech landscape is brimming with excitement and uncertainty.

As users flock to embrace this new communication platform, the industry holds its breath, eager to witness the outcome of these bold developments.
