Musk has used derogatory terms to describe Zuckerberg and even proposed “a literal dick-measuring contest” and a mixed martial arts fight. Amidst these public spats, Threads has garnered 100 million users, and Twitter seems to be facing challenges with controversy, technical issues, and potential user migration.
