Mark Zuckerberg

The billionaires behind Tesla, Alphabet, Meta, LVMH and more saw their fortunes plunge in the billions on Wednesday following a rash of earnings reports that disappointed investors.

Disinformation Expert Joan Donovan claims that Harvard University dismantled her team of online disinformation experts after receiving a $500 million pledge from a foundation run by Mark Zuckerburg.

The third Mark Zuckerberg is ready for his closeup.

As social media’s poster boy approaches 40, he’s having his Bill Gates moment: mellowing (a bit), maturing (a bit more) and upending his company with staggering confidence. It’s a big bet on the future of daily human life—and his legacy.

Meta is preparing to launch a web version of it text-based social media app Threads sometime this week, the Wall Street Journal reported, the latest in a series of features added to the platform as it attempts to gain parity with X, formerly known as Twitter, and reverse a steep slump in engagement after a record-breaking launch last month.

The saga of two tech giants rumored to be planning a cage-fighting match continued Sunday.

Meta’s Twitter competitor has struggled to retain users after a record-breaking launch earlier this month.

Threads has seen a 70% decline in active daily users since its July 7 peak, according to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.

Elon Musk said early Saturday that advertising revenue for Twitter has dropped 50% amid a “heavy debt load,” just as competition between the platform—which recently started to pay creators for advertisements—and Mark Zuckerberg’s rival Threads continues to intensify.

Meta’s new Threads app—a competitor to Twitter—has overtaken ChatGPT, which achieved the 100 million milestone in 2 months.
