Over 5 million users signed up for Threads in the first four hours of its launch, per Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg ratcheted his rivalry with Twitter owner Elon Musk as Meta rolled out its Threads app to users in 100 countries on Wednesday.
Over five million users signed up for the app in the first four hours of its launch, Zuckerberg posted on Threads.
The app somewhat resembles Twitter, leading Zuckerberg to post his first tweet in a decade — the famed Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme.
To be sure, Meta's Threads isn't the only game in town trying to the Twitter Killer.
