Hello Threads, Goodbye Twitter?
Or is it merely a continuation of the dick measuring contest between Musk and Zuckerberg?
Last week, we were told that a cage fight had been arranged between two of the wealthiest men in the world.
No sooner had news of the imminent fight broken out than social media became abuzz as to who would win between the overweight, malignant narcissistic, fifty-two year old Musk and the fastidious, martial arts fanatic thirty-nine year old, Zuckerberg.
But things have evolved since then.
On Sunday, billions of folks around the world, awoke to being told that their rate limits on Twitter had been exceeded, thereby restricting what they could see, read and post.
For a minute, it seemed as though the increasingly strained relationship between Twitter users and the new owner had reached a new low thus raising the prospect that the biggest social media platform had reached its end.
Suffice it to say that the specter of bankruptcy and the death of Twitter made Elon Musk do a spectacular U-turn.
But it was all too late by then.
Burgeoning social media players, who had been praying for this moment their entire careers promptly seized on the opportunity generated by Elmo’s egregious stupidity.
