There are already many Twitter alternatives but none with the ready-made captive audience that Facebook enjoys.

Waiting to see if Threads joins the Fediverse. I can then follow accounts from a Mastodon server.

It’s funny watching billionaires react when competition actually rears its ugly head.

Also, the lack of self awareness in that tweet is telling. Like Musk is some visionary for buying Twitter then?

It's so tough to tell, it could be either! What with the word Parody right there and all. The internet is a confusing place.

Imagine being a fanboy for a billionaire. Like, I just can't fathom that.

Maybe, and I definitely mean MAYBE Mark Cuban is a cool billionaire, but I ain't about to start defending his honor all over the internet if someone started bashing him or his organizations LOL.

Freaking simps.

Are you sure?

I thought "(Parody)" was added to everyone's account name by default now, and you have to pay $5 to get it removed.

It's a parody account. The handle is @elonmuskAOC.

He's got quite a few investors, listed here:

Even thought I hate Meta and everything Zuck, it's going to be hilarious if most of the prominent tweeters head to Threads because Twitter will lose most of it's social cache at that point and become basically another 4chan.
