Mark Zuckerberg says he's eating 4,000 calories per day, 1.6 times more than the recommended intake. Apparently this includes McDonald's staples like the Quarter Pounder, fries, and McFlurry. After McDonald's posted on Threads for followers' favorite orders, Zuckerberg responded: "20 nuggets, a quarter pounder, large fries, Oreo McFlurry, apple pie, and maybe some cheeseburgers for later?" But Zuck said he needed around 4,000 calories a day to maintain his weight during his current training regime. Meta didn't respond to Insider's request for comment to confirm if their fitness-loving boss did go ahead with his McDonald's order.

Zuck showed up looking bejeweled at the Eras Tour in California. Mark Zuckerberg is a busy man, but he still has time to get his Swiftie on. "Life of a girl dad," Zuckerberg wrote on Instagram, showing off his concert glam — which included little gemstones bejeweling his face. On top of that, off-duty Zuck also sported an impressive stack of beaded bracelets for what one might guess are his favorite Swift eras. It's unclear how long Zuck has been a Swift fan, or how much of her music he listens to on the reg.

Silicon Valley Zuck was a husband and father with a legacy to build and protect at all costs. Silicon Valley Zuck was suddenly faced with something he'd never dealt with before, shrinking revenue. Still clinging to his persona as Silicon Valley Zuck, Zuckerberg engaged in an all-out media blitz to hawk his vision for the metaverse. They were the sort of people Harvard Zuck would have scoffed at and Silicon Valley Zuck would have gently ignored.

CNN —Sandwiched between a Jiu-Jitsu video and the Threads announcement, Mark Zuckerberg’s Instagram profile recently featured a casual Independence Day snapshot of him and his family. This prompted social media comments accusing Zuckerberg of hypocrisy, given the constant outcry over his company Meta’s privacy practices. Mark Zuckerberg posted this picture with his family on Instagram on July 4, 2023. A decade ago, a research team and I interviewed more than 100 parents about their social media use. That’s the real privacy problem of social media, and it affects children and adults alike.

Mark Zuckerberg's new attitude is being hailed by Meta insiders as "OG Mark," per the WSJ. In many ways, Zuckerberg might have his rival Elon Musk to thank for Meta's turnaround. The much-hyped launch of Threads, Meta's Twitter killer, might have a particularly Musky scent to it — but this time, it could be coming from Meta's CEO. Encouraged by the chaos at Twitter since Musk's takeover, he launched "Project 92" to create Threads, Meta's own text-based app, the Journal reported.

Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino said the platform had its "largest usage day" in five months. The Twitter higher-ups appear to be concerned by the rapid popularity of Threads. Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino said Monday that last week saw the platform's "largest usage day" since February. That appeared to be a taunt aimed at Threads, the Twitter competitor app released by Meta last Wednesday which is estimated to already have reached 100 million users. This week, Musk tweeted "Zuck is a cuck" and proposed a "literal dick measuring contest."

Threads is 'serious competition'A private worker poll on Blind seen by Insider showed that nearly 70% of about 200 Twitter employees responded "yes" to the prompt "Threads, RIP Twitter?"

Zuck can be happy: Threads reached 100 million users faster than ChatGPT. Mark Zuckerberg had cause to celebrate over the weekend as Meta's newest app, Threads, passed the 100 million user milestone less than a week after its launch. The would-be Twitter competitor is now the fastest-growing app ever, beating ChatGPT, the generative AI chatbot that corporate America hasn't stopped talking about all year. But its leap to 100 million users had a massive jumpstart thanks to its integration with Instagram, whose billion-plus users are actively encouraged to download the new app if they fancy adding a new social-media timesuck onto their devices. ChatGPT, released to the public November 30, surpassed the 100 million user milestone in January.

Elon Musk is proposing a "dick measuring contest." It's unclear what sparked the sudden interest on Musk's part in whipping out a ruler to quash his Zuckerberg beef. But the cage match Musk suggested in June also started out as a joke — at least until Zuckerberg took the bait and asked Musk to send over the location for fight night. She's been known to scold her son occasionally, so maybe she can make him see reason where no one else can. Good luck, Momma Musk; you're the hero we need in this darkest of timelines.

Elon Musk keeps replying to a parody account that insults Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. Meta just launched its newest social media app called Threads, accused of being a Twitter "copycat." Elon Musk is clearly shaken by Twitter's newest competitor Threads because the billionaire is now responding to a parody account that insults Mark Zuckerberg on his behalf. Parody account @ElonMuskAOC posted the tweets in a screenshot and joked: "At this point, I can't keep track of which account I'm tweeting from." But Musk's anger doesn't just end at cheap swipes on social media.

Last week, Meta launched its latest social media venture, a Twitter alternative called Threads. For social media start-ups, attracting an audience is crucial to scaling a new product — but it can be near impossible to lure loyal users away from other platforms. New Threads accounts can easily migrate their information from Instagram, sharing their account data and username between the platforms. They have this pattern now of either launching or creating spin-off social media networks based on what's most popular at the time, then do it under their brand," Caraballo said. "It just is so dystopian to have one single person basically who oversees the entirety of all social media, at least in the Western world," Caraballo told Insider.

From zuck/InstagramFor years, celebrities from Kristen Bell and Gigi Hadid to Chris Pratt and Orlando Bloom have been blurring images or using emojis to help protect their kids’ privacy on social media. Zuckerberg, too, had previously posted pictures of the back of his daughters’ heads and their side profiles rather than showing their entire faces. Some parents choose to either restrict how much they share about their kids or limit sharing to less public platforms. Plunkett believes social media companies can do more, such as offering a setting that automatically blurs kids’ faces or prevents any picture with a child from being used for marketing or advertising purposes. For now, however, the onus remains on parents to limit or abstain sharing photos of their kids online.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg remain at each others' throats following the launch of Threads. The squabble has ramped up a notch after Twitter threatened to take Meta to court over Threads. It's getting a bit pitiful for Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg as their feud continues to escalate, following the launch of Threads. In Musk's case, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino should bring a level-headedness that her colleague is clearly lacking. These include hashtags, a "following" feed, and a messaging function, which means Threads is still a skeletal project.

That long string of numbers now attached to our Instagram profile, however, is not. One bit of beef I have with the app, however, has its roots in how it's affected my Instagram account. Call me shallow, but that super long @ that's been added to my Instagram profile, right under my username? That said, this feels like a small quibble in the big scheme of things — the new Threads app is fun. And for now, I prefer it to a social media app that's prone to crashing, with an owner who's seen fit to impose a rate limit on how many tweets can be viewed.
