No, we’re not talking about a cage match between the owner of Twitter and Meta, but something much more childish, which we’re supposed to grow out of as teenagers…

This morning at 4:01 CEST, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, wrote an idiotic post: “I propose a literal d_ck measuring contest,” and used a ruler emoji. Musk, we might add, is fifty-two years old. Before that (on Sunday night), he had essentially called Mark Zuckerberg a c_ck. It was preceded two weeks ago by Musk and Zuckerberg submitting to a cage fight. The richer someone gets, the dumber they get…?

It’s still questionable whether Musk and Zuckerberg’s fight will happen, but there were photos of the former with trainers (we couldn’t find it on Musk’s Twitter…), and the latter has been jiu-jitsu before the give-and-take between the two tech leaders. Musk has recently started his smear campaign against Zuckerberg, with Meta launching Twitter rival Threads a few days ago (which Musk claims is a steal from the social platform that is slowly renamed to X). Twitter is in chaos, and it seems a bold move that Tweetdeck, the easy-to-use, multi-feed platform, will soon be available only to Twitter Blue subscribers. Still, one can mention the daily tweet limit (and there were a few days when you couldn’t even read the site without logging in), and Twitter Blue subscribers have a much higher limit…

Meanwhile, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey also has a social networking site, Bluesky, which has recently launched and is currently in beta, so it is unavailable to the broader community. But even so, the site has gained a lot of new users, forcing it to pause new sign-ups. However, Musk has not reacted to this site as he did to Threads, which he almost certainly sees as a threat, while he is keen to shake Twitter financially into shape.

Only with these strange moves and restrictions will he not win the favor of advertisers…
