The much-anticipated bout between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is taking shape. However, the fight is panning out differently than many would have imagined. What initially revolved around a cage boxing match challenge has now shifted its focus. The seemingly warring tech giants took it up a notch after Zuckerberg launched Threads. Pat McAfee and his colleagues engaged in a detailed discussion about the platform. Although the conversation started with Threads and its possible effect on Twitter, it quickly diverted to ‘Truth Social,’ a social media website that is the brainchild of the former president of the US, Donald Trump.

McAfee began the conversation by expressing his awe and amazement at the incredible reception that Threads received within the past 24 hours since its launch.

Pat McAfee had no idea what Truth Social was

The analyst found it quite surprising that Mark Zuckerberg was garnering free publicity, considering the negative press he had received over the years. The discussion then shifted towards highlighting the similarities between Thread and Twitter, with one of McAfee’s co-hosts noting that Threads is not the only offshoot branching off from Twitter.

As the conversation delved deeper, McAfee’s co-host, Boston Conner, raised the point that these new social media platforms won’t fade away easily. He further mentioned how Trump’s social media platform had also emerged as a branch from Twitter before the advent of Threads. This piqued Pat’s curiosity, prompting him to inquire about Truth Social and its nature. Conner then stated that Truth Social was the complete opposite of Zuckerberg’s platform.

Conner further elaborated on why Truth Social was considered the complete opposite of Thread. He highlighted that Truth Social aimed to promote factual information, which may not always be the case. McAfee then shifted the discussion towards popular creators on the platform, emphasizing the impressive number of followers they had accumulated within just 24 hours.

Mr. Beast was the first one to reach a million follower count

Pat expressed his appreciation for the new platform, Threads, noting that it was an excellent place for Q&A sessions, as evidenced by his own post amassing over 200 comments. Notably, he has already gained over 80k followers on the platform. McAfee and his team quickly discussed the rapid success of social media influencer and philanthropist Mr. Beast, who had amassed over a million followers within hours of joining.

Overall, Threads has received great feedback from fans and has proven to be highly successful. Even the football GOAT, Tom Brady, has made a splash on the platform by sharing hilarious posts right after its launch, accumulating half a million followers on his page.

Considering that it has only been a day since the app’s launch, it is difficult to determine if it will live up to the hype. Similar apps, including Truth Social, have faced significant setbacks and failures, so it remains to be seen if Threads will encounter a similar fate or potentially replace Twitter as the new hub for conversations. Only time will reveal the outcome.
