Musk, the Chief Technology Officer of Twitter, responded to the development calling it cheating,
"Competition is fine; cheating is not," Musk tweeted.
Twitter has had a slew of competition since Musk took over the platform last October, including Mastodon and Bluesky, launched by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.
However, analysts have pointed out the similarities between the two platforms.
According to them, Threads' repost and like buttons look strikingly similar to those on Twitter.
Also, they revealed that users are taking advantage of the recent unfavourable changes made on Twitter to jump ship.
