Meta’s new app Threads, launched on July 5, is being termed as Twitter’s new competition. The launch of the application has aggravated the famous cage fight between two tech heavyweights Twitter owner Elon Musk and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Since the launch of the app, several people have taken to the internet to share their thoughts on the matter. Hillarious memes on Twitter vs Threads have flooded social media.
However, there is one particular tweet that has caught the attention of many. The tweet is posted by the parody account of Elon Musk and has been catching eyeballs since yesterday.

The tweet says, “I spent $44 billion for this app and now Lizard boy just decided to hit copy and paste. It’s personal now. See you in the cage, Zuck.” The tweet takes a jibe at Zuckerberg by referring to him as Lizard Boy. It also takes a dig at the much-talked-about cage fight between the two billionaires.

Here’s how things went down for the two tech billionaires, and a cage fight is the only way to settle differences and decide Tech Supremacy once and for all!
The beef between two of the biggest tech billionaires in the game, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, is for real and has been going on for quite some time now, but right now it all just seems personal.
American computer programmer who was the cofounder and CEO of Facebook, the world’s largest social networking site, recently launched social media site Threads and also went on to dub him the “Twitter Killer.”
It all seemed very identical and similar to Musk’s Twitter. The thread gathered around 70 million potential followers in just a single day. Action was later taken by Musk’s lawyers, who expressed concerns regarding “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.”
The feud between the two billionaires also went to a point where Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta was accused of violating state and federal laws.
The author of “The Accidental Billionaires”, Ben Mezrich, mentions that Musk alienated employees while Zuckerberg hired some of them and launched something very similar to Twitter. Musk is now going Winklevi on Zuckerberg.”

There has always been more than one score to settle in the buildup to the potential cage fight between the two tech billionaires.
This was when one of Musk’s spaceships blew up, and it had Zuck’s staellite on it. It was a $200 million satellite, and Zuck did not take this matter well. while Elon, who suffered a loss of $62 million, laughed it off.
Back in 2018, a couple years before Elon Musk took over Twitter, Musk joined a campaign that urged users to delete Facebook due to privacy-related concerns.
Now that there is enough beef and disputes between the two billionaires, the matchup at the moment seems inclined towards Mark, considering his advantage of already having a head start in Ji-Jitsu and having accolades for the same, while Musk has also taken things into action and has been training with UFC pro George St. Pierre and outweighs Mark by 45 pounds.
