THE GUARDIAN: Meta founder says rival platform will ‘focus on kindness’ as it claims 10 million users hours after launch
Mark Zuckerberg has taken a swipe at Elon Musk’s Twitter as his competitor to the platform, Threads, announced 10 million sign-ups within hours of its launch.
The chief executive and founder of Meta used his new Threads account to say Twitter had not “nailed” its opportunity to become a mega app and that his copycat version would be “focusing on kindness”.
Zuckerberg’s competitive move against Twitter has already resulted in Musk challenging his fellow billionaire to a cage fight, with the Meta boss appearing to accept the offer of a bout. Appropriately, Zuckerberg said in an exchange with a mixed martial arts fighter on Threads that Twitter had not taken its chance to become a leading platform. » | Dan Milmo, Global technology editor | Thursday, July 6, 2023
