Joe Rogan and Alex Berenson react to X’s victory over Threads

The 56-year-old, in his recent episode of ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ invited a prominent author as well as a former NY Times reporter, Alex Berenson. While having the conversation, Rogan and Berenson delved into the topic that revolved around governmental intervention in the case of social media companies. Rogan emphasized the reason Mark Zuckerberg’s Thread couldn’t compete with Elon Musk’s massive $44 billion X.

Rogan, in the conversation, added, ” Yeah, that’s what’s interesting. Is it possible that without any intervention, the market would figure it out? Would sites like Rumble or other social media platforms that choose not to moderate heavily rise now? You know, a lot of people thought that was going to happen with Threads. People were tired of all the hate speech on Twitter, and now with X, they said, “You know what? We’re gonna go over to Threads.”

Berenson emphasized that, although Threads was introduced, it did not function as expected because people desired a more open platform. He added, “But it didn’t work. People seem to want a more open platform. They want Twitter. They don’t want threads “

In the conversation, Joe Rogan added that people with established followers and other factors in Threads found it easy to rant there. Thus, they wanted to shift to Threads, but it didn’t work as planned. Rogan added, ” They had established followers and all this stuff over there, and it was convenient to bitch over there. So many people, like ‘I’m outta here,’ and it didn’t work “

The rise and fall of Threads: Feud between Zuckerberg and Musk

The launch of Threads which is fairly similar to X started a feud among the tech billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Threads gathered a massive 100 million users within a matter of a week surpassing all the expectations. The massive user base may have been seen as a victory over Elon Musk and X. People even speculated that the days of Twitter are over.

However, the success and media hubbub was short-lived. Musk in his pursuit accused the tech giant of Intellectual Property theft. He went further to allege that Meta had hired former X employees who had access to confidential data such as source codes. He went on to criticize Threads as “just Instagram minus pics“. Despite its initial surge in popularity, Threads was unable to sustain its user base and ultimately lost to Twitter in the social media arena.

Even though Thread has lost its battle against X it will be interesting to witness what’s ahead of X’s rival. What’s your opinion on the battle of the tech giants? Will the thread ever succeed over X? Do tell us in the comments below.
