Meta's Threads Gains Over 100 Million Users In Less Than A Week, Sparking Heated Rivalry With Twitter

  • Meta launched Threads as a rival to Twitter, gaining over 100 million users within 5 days of its debut.
  • Twitter has accused Meta of misappropriating trade secrets, while Meta denies hiring former Twitter employees to develop Threads.
  • Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have engaged in public feuding, with Musk threatening legal action and calling Threads a "copycat".
  • Threads is built on Instagram's infrastructure, allowing easy account migration, but lacks features like DMs, trends, and full web access.
  • Despite rapid growth, Threads faces challenges in sustaining user engagement and fully displacing Twitter's entrenched position.
