Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta to launch an app to rival Elon’s Twitter

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, has announced it will create a new app that allows users to share limited character posts in order to challenge Elon Musk’s Twitter.

A Meta spokesperson confirmed that the standalone, decentralized social network’ was available to Reuters. He stated that there is an opportunity to create a space for people to post updates about their interests.

Although the app’s name has not been revealed, it will be built on Mastodon, which was a Twitter-like service that launched in 2016.

A Twitter-like app would allow Meta to take advantage of the current chaos at the Musk-led company, where cost-cutting and layoffs have been rampant.

MoneyControl reported Thursday on Meta’s Twitter competitor. It stated that it was codenamed “P92.”

The app would be Instagram-branded, allowing users to register with the same credentials, people familiar with the matter told MoneyControl.
