In a surprising turn of events, legend track star Michael Johnson has taken to Twitter to express his support for Mark Zuckerberg’s new venture, Threads. Johnson’s tweet, posted just hours ago, highlights the growing anticipation surrounding Zuckerberg’s attempt to challenge Elon Musk’s dominance. 

Threads is a public conversation app that aims to attract over one billion users. In a post, Zuckerberg acknowledged the existing opportunity for a platform of this magnitude, emphasizing that Twitter has yet to fully capitalize on it. With Threads, Zuckerberg aspires to create a space where meaningful discussions can thrive among a massive user base, challenging Twitter’s position as the go-to platform for public conversations.

By humbly welcoming Zuckerberg’s entry into the realm of public conversations, Johnson acknowledges the potential of Threads to disrupt the status quo and provide users with a fresh and engaging social media experience.

In the Tweet, he said, “Meet over there. Instagrams cousin. Goes by Threads.” With Michael Johnson’s endorsement and the ongoing anticipation surrounding Threads, it is clear that Zuckerberg’s foray into the world of public conversations has captured the attention of both enthusiasts and industry experts alike. Here’s a glimpse of the post.

The post comes on the heels of the viral news of a ‘Cage Match’ between tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The online exchange started with Musk tweeting that he is “up for a cage match” with the Meta CEO, who responded to UFC President Dana White that he “was willing to throw down”. Whether the match transpires, only time and logistics will tell, but looks like the online round has already begun.

Threads Seize the Moment

Threads’ emergence comes at a time when Twitter has faced a series of setbacks. Since Elon Musk acquired the company, Twitter has undergone significant changes, including employee layoffs, relaxed content moderation policies, and technical challenges experienced by users and advertisers.

Furthermore, Twitter’s controversial decision to limit daily tweet views as a temporary measure against data scrapers and bots has raised concerns. This backdrop of Twitter’s missteps provides a favourable environment for Threads to step in and potentially fill the void left by its competitor. This puts a question on the existence of a top-notch organisation, Twitter.
