Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, recently weighed in on Meta’s new Threads app, drawing a comparison to Instagram but noting the absence of “thirst pics.” Musk’s comment surfaced as Threads gained attention as a potential rival to Twitter.
However, legal disputes have arisen between Twitter and Meta, with Musk’s legal representative accusing Meta of utilizing confidential Twitter information and former Twitter employees in the development of Threads.
Musk’s recent tweet suggests that Threads may not be as appealing as Instagram due to its lack of visual content. The head of Instagram has acknowledged the current limitations of Threads and has expressed a commitment to incorporating more features in future updates.
