The highly anticipated and potential Twitter-killer has landed and millions have already downloaded it, according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Threads, built by the Instagram team, went live on Wednesday evening and in just the first two hours received an impressive 2 million downloads, Zuckerberg said in his fourth post on the new text-based app.
Clearly enjoying the occasion, Zuckerberg also teased Twitter owner Elon Musk by posting his first tweet in more than a decade containing the classic spiderman-pointing-at-spiderman meme. It seems to be a reference to the striking and deliberate similarities between Threads and Twitter, or perhaps a cheeky reminder about the potential cage fight between the two.
