Meta launches new 'Threads' app; here's how people reacted to it
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has officially unveiled Threads, a text-based app developed by the team at Instagram. Considered the most formidable threat to Twitter, Threads aims to provide users with an open and friendly public space for conversation. The app allows individuals to share posts of up to 500 characters, fostering a new experience for text-based interactions.
On Wednesday, Meta Chief Mark Zuckerberg introduced Threads to the world, highlighting its potential impact on online discourse. Zuckerberg expressed his vision of amalgamating the best aspects of Instagram to create a fresh platform for sharing thoughts and engaging in discussions. Describing it as a friendly community, he emphasized the need for such spaces in today's world.
Zuckerberg expressed his gratitude to those who joined Threads from its inception and encouraged users to explore the app, which is now available for download from the app store. As news of Threads spread, curiosity led many individuals to log in and explore the app's features. Simultaneously, on Twitter, users began a meme fest in response to the app's unveiling.

Speculation quickly arose, with many interpreting the meme as a possible mockery directed at Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
