A fierce online rivalry has emerged between two tech giants: Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. While the jury is still out on whether they will meet inside the octagon, their battle for influence is evident on the digital stage. The clash commenced on July 5 when Meta, Zuckerberg’s company, unleashed Threads, a highly anticipated Twitter alternative linked to Instagram.

Notably, the platform has successfully attracted several prominent sports figures, including five NFL stars, who have already shown their support for Zuckerberg.
