Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, found himself entangled in the ongoing rivalry with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as Meta’s Instagram rolled out the new text-based Threads app on July 5. The app, dubbed as the ‘Twitter killer,’ experienced a surge in registrations within hours of its launch, stirring up conversations among netizens. The release of Threads further fueled the much-talked-about ‘cage fight’ between Musk and Zuckerberg.
Expectedly, many are taking to social media to share their opinions about the whole matter and one such post came from a parody account called ‘Elon Musk (Parody)’. The tweet captured the attention of many, including Elon Musk who shared a reply too.
What is the tweet from the parody account all about?
“I spent $44 billion for this app and now Lizard boy just decided to hit copy and paste. It’s personal now. See you in the cage, Zuck,” reads the post shared a day ago on July 7. The post talks about how Threads has functions and looks quite similar to Twitter. It also takes a dig at the ‘cage-fight’ between the two tech titans. The other tweets shared by the parody account often refer to Zuckerberg as ‘Lizard boy’ instead of his name.
Elon Musk often replies to various tweets and usually with a touch of hilarity. Showcasing his signature style, the tech giant replied to the tweet from the parody account too. “So many people think this account is me,” he shared. He completed his post with a Side Eyes emoji.
