There’s a power struggle to go on right now! It’s a tug of war between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg with their pet projects, Twitter and Threads, respectively. Zuckerberg brings out Threads, worth $106,000,000,000 raking in over 81 mn users worldwide. The influx of all these users is coming when Twitter, bought by Elon Musk, introduced a lot of restrictions. Threads is getting popular with not just regular people, but with celebrities and NBA stars.

One such NBA legend who’s recently joined Threads is Shaquille O?Neal. We all know Shaq has always had a powerful media presence. He regularly keeps his fans updated on his life, engaging with them, creating awareness, and goofing around with Charles Barkley. Though he was pretty active on Twitter, Shaq is now using and liking the alternative, owing to the lack of restrictions.

Shaquille O?Neal jumps on the latest social media app Threads

A natural extension of O?Neal?s commitment to the Meta group sees the athlete join the app on the very first day of its launch. Since then, he has continued to interact with his followers by posting amusing videos and pictures. He is undoubtedly enjoying the app based on how busy he is with it, even at 7 in the morning.

Excited at the prospect of the new platform, he is constantly promoting the app. He re-posted a meme by a Thread account ?hot freestyle? that says, ?We don’t have to worry about exceeding a rate limit on this app? with a laughter emoji.
