After 11 years of Twitter silence, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, took to his Twitter account, @finkd, to share a meme that playfully reflects the escalating rivalry between Meta and Twitter owner Elon Musk. The tweet has sparked curiosity and intrigue among social media users.

In a recent tweet, @finkd shared an image featuring two cartoon Spider-Men pointing at each other, symbolizing the intensifying competition between Meta and Twitter. The lighthearted meme showcases the playful exchange between Zuckerberg and Musk.

Since Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in October, the platform has undergone significant transformations, causing disruptions among advertisers and alienating some of its prominent users. Now, Musk is on a mission to revitalize and grow the platform, evident in Twitter’s recent announcement that users will soon need to pay for TweetDeck, a popular tool for organizing and monitoring accounts.

The battle between Meta and Twitter extends beyond their core offerings, with both companies attempting to encroach on each other’s territories. Twitter’s addition of encrypted messaging and plans to introduce voice calls puts them in direct competition with Meta’s flagship platforms like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.

Enter Meta’s Threads app, a new venture deeply integrated with Instagram that amplifies the rivalry between the two tech giants. With Threads, Meta aims to provide users with a text-based conversation experience while tapping into Instagram’s massive user base. As Threads enables seamless sharing of content between platforms, it presents a formidable challenge to Twitter’s dominance in real-time conversations and user engagement.
