Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has posted a shirtless photo on social media showcasing his well-toned body, generating a buzz among netizens. The image comes in preparation for an upcoming ‘cage fight’ with Elon Musk. Zuckerberg’s photo also features a group of MMA fighters.
The shirtless picture, shared by Zuckerberg on his social media accounts, reveals his visibly shredded physique, highlighting the CEO’s dedication to physical fitness. The snapshot was accompanied by a caption expressing his excitement for the impending cage fight and acknowledging the MMA fighters who have been training him for the event.
A power struggle emerged last week when Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Threads app under the Instagram umbrella for both Android and iOS users. Coinciding with this launch was a controversial change to the Tweet limit on Twitter, resulting in an exodus of users from the platform. Threads seized this opportunity to position itself as a potential “Twitter-killer.” In just 5-6 days, the app has witnessed unprecedented growth, surpassing 100 million sign-ups and outpacing even the disruptive ChatGPT.
Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to release the Threads app as part of the Instagram ecosystem intensified the competition in the social media landscape. The app’s arrival coincided with a strategic move by Twitter, implementing a new Tweet limit that proved unpopular among users. This development prompted a significant number of individuals to seek alternatives, opening the door for Threads to emerge as a formidable contender.
Elon Musk, as anticipated, has voiced his dissatisfaction with the new Threads app, asserting that users cannot express their true selves on the platform. The criticism escalated when Alex Spiro, a lawyer representing Twitter, sent a notice to Mark Zuckerberg, the developer of Threads, claiming that former Twitter employees had been recruited for the app’s development. Additionally, Spiro alleged that Twitter’s “trade secrets” were exploited to build Threads within a remarkably short period.
Musk’s critique of the Threads app comes as no surprise, given his previous reservations about privacy and social media platforms. In his statement, he expressed concerns that users of Threads may be constrained in presenting their authentic selves, potentially limiting their freedom of expression and individuality.
