It’s clear that MetaCEO is taking advantage of Twitter’s CEO’s controversial decisions.
Musk — who acquired the company for $44 billion in October — downsized the company shortly after taking over and laying off thousands of employees.
It then changed its content moderation policies and made Twitter verification a paid service, leaving users and advertisers with a number of technical challenges.
Additionally, Musk’s latest decision to limit the number of tweets users can see per day — what Musk called “temporary” to prevent data scrapers and bots — earned him a huge backlash from users around the world.
“There should be a public conversation app with over 1 billion people on it,” Zuckerberg said in a post on Threads.
“Twitter has had an opportunity to do this but hasn’t taken advantage of it. Hopefully we will.”
