Threads

Now, tech news and media platforms are expecting to launch a new app. It's called Threads, and it is a platform where users can publish, share, or like short messages. Sound familiar? Well, it's pretty much like Zuckerberg taking on this space and Elon Musk.

Twitter

This Twitter-like rival couldn't come at a worse time for Elon Musk. His users are growing unhappy with the management of the app. Musk has just announced a temporary cap on how many posts users can read on the social media site. The rant will be directly linked to Instagram, which means using the same username as those using Instagram. It can easily put followers across using the new application.
