Threads vs Twitter: Why is Instagram taking on Elon Musk? Adam Mosseri reveals the truth

[ad_1] The timing of the launch of Threads could not be any better. On Saturday, Elon Musk announced the decision to put a rate limit on the number of tweets viewed by users per day - something that has been seemingly revoked in a hurry. The decision, which was taken temporarily to curb “extreme data scrapping”, was met with an uproar, and the days following saw a big spike in incoming users on alternative platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky.

Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey Rues Elon Musk Deal: ‘It All Went South’

[ad_1] Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey — once a supporter of Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of the site — is now offering sharp criticism of the new owner and his handling of the deal. Asked if Musk has proven himself to be the best possible steward for the platform, Dorsey said, “No. Nor do I think he acted right after realizing his timing was bad. Nor do I think the board should have forced the sale.” After stock markets turned shortly following his offer to buy Twitter a year ago, Musk sought to withdraw from the deal.
