Here’s how Twitter’s leadership is responding to Instagram Threads.

“It is infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter, than indulge in the false happiness of hide-the-pain Instagram.” - Elon Musk, @elonmusk (1), (2).

“We’re often imitated — but the Twitter community can never be duplicated.” - Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, @lindayacc.

Threads activated more than 30 million profiles overnight.

Screenshot of two tweets, first by “Internal Tech Emails” (@techemails), reads “Elon Musk on Instagram, August 21, 2018” with an image of an email from Musk to Juleanna Glover, Kimbal Musk, and Dave Arnold saying “I just deleted my Instagram. Weak sauce.” Response to the tweet by Elon Musk “It is infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter, than indulge in the false happiness of hide-the-pain Instagram “

Image of a tweet by Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, reading, “On Twitter, everyone’s voice matters. Whether you’re here to watch history unfold, discover REAL-TIME information all over the world, share your opinions, or learn about others — on Twitter YOU can be real. YOU built the Twitter community. 🙏👏 And that’s irreplaceable. This is your public square. We’re often imitated — but the Twitter community can never be duplicated.”
