Meta's new text-based app, Threads, has been dubbed the 'Twitter Killer' and presents a formidable challenge to its rival, X.

Threads leverages Instagram's massive user base, requiring an Instagram log-in and potentially converting its 1.21 billion active users.

Since Elon Musk's takeover, Twitter has undergone significant changes, including content moderation shifts and a rebranding to X.

Zuckerberg perceives Musk as a 'change agent' but remains unconvinced about the trajectory and potential of X under his leadership.

Threads was launched by Meta in July, aiming to offer a less 'negative and critical' platform compared to X.

Zuckerberg and Musk have engaged in online banter, discussing a hypothetical 'cage match' and exchanging taunts through their platforms.

Musk has introduced controversial changes to X, such as removing old content moderation rules and altering the app's algorithm.

Zuckerberg envisions Threads as an alternative platform, contrasting with X by fostering a different digital conversation space.
