The rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has just heated up as Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has teased that it’s launching a platform to rival Twitter.

Called “Threads,” the Meta-backed microblogging platform is billed as “Instagram’s text-based conversation app,” according to a listing on Apple’s App Store.
