About

Twitter vs. Threads refers to jokes and memes about the competition between Twitter and Meta's social media platform Threads. Twitter vs. Threads memes also often reference the supposed rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. After Meta launched the text-based app Threads in early July 2023 and after the app's users rose to over 100 million in a week after launch, jokes about the rivalry between the two apps began to spread online. The tension was exacerbated by Twitter threatening to sue Meta for alleged intellectual property theft and poaching former employees, with Musk tweeting "Zuck is a cuck" in response to a tweet comparing both platforms.

Background

The micro-blogging site Twitter faced various issues following its acquisition by Elon Musk in late 2022, including a brief period started on July 1st, 2023, when the site restricted public access and restricted the number of tweets one could view in a day.
