Lando Norris was the center of attraction at the Austrian GP where his qualifying shocked everyone before getting involved in a feisty fight with Lewis Hamilton and other top runners. This time around Lando Norris has been involved in the fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. The Meta owner welcomes the McLaren Star with open arms to draw first blood in his fight with the Twitter owner. But what is it all about?

Elon Musk ever since taking over Twitter has made multiple changes to it. Along with the freedom of speech changes, the Billionaire also introduces Twitter Blue. Earlier only well-recognized people could get the blue tick but now someone with a verified phone number can pay a subscription fee and get it. However, the most recent change has received a lot of backlash from fans as Elon Musk applied restrictions to how many posts can be read by an account in a day.

Initially, the limit was 600 for unverified and 6000 for verified accounts, which was later pushed to 1000 for unverified and 10000 for verified accounts. In response to the restrictions, Mark Zuckerberg, the meta owner, announced a new app that will be launched to counter Twitter and its restrictions. As a result, Threads was launched. Lando Norris recently joined Threads and welcomed the fans on it with a “👋” emoji. Mark Zuckerberg replied to Norris’ Tweet and welcomed him to his app as he said, “Let’s do this. Welcome to Threads. 🔥”

Formula 1 is the fastest-growing sport in the world. While other sports also provide the much-needed sponsorship advertising benefits, the F1 car is essentially like a huge billboard. Many Billionaires including Elon Musk, have shown interest in the sport. The Tesla owner was spotted in the paddock during the Miami GP, as he was seen with Red Bull in their garage.
