Tesla tycoon challenged Meta boss to a cage fight but the launch of Twitter’s rival this week may provide the real action
Threads app to launch 6 July amid mass backlash against Twitter
Elon Musk recently challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a physical cage fight – but the real battle between the two billionaires will begin on Thursday when Zuckerberg launches Threads, his company’s Twitter competitor.
