Elon Musk, 52, challenges Mark Zuckerberg to ‘d–k measuring contest’ as Twitter users flock to Threads

This feud has come to a head.

Elon Musk stooped to a new low Sunday as he challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a “d–k measuring contest” in a bizarre tweet.

The Twitter owner, a 52-year-old adult and father of 10, made the proposition — complete with an emoji of a ruler, because of course — hours after calling the Facebook co-founder a “cuck.”

The years of bitterness between the two billionaires has only intensified since Zuckerberg, 39, launched Threads as a rival to Twitter last week.

But Musk’s latest posts were the final straw for some longtime Twitter users who have considered ditching the established social media platform for its promising new competitor.

“This is getting out of hand,” one person wrote.

“I’m getting a f–k ton of second hand embarrassment rn,” another agreed.

Others called out Musk’s “middle school behavior” and branded his penis-comparing diatribe “embarrassing” and “corny.”

“How do I unsee this tweet pls,” one more joked.

The Tesla CEO’s tantrum has also involved a legal threat against meta, the tech conglomerate that owns and operates Facebook, Instagram and Threads, among other social mediums.

Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, fired off a letter to Zuckerberg last Wednesday accusing meta of engaging in “systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property,” which a company spokesperson denied.

Spiro also called Threads a “copycat” of Twitter.

However, the digital drama clearly has not deterred netizens from checking out Threads, which amassed more than 100 million users in less than five days, making it the fastest-growing online platform in history.

As a result, some critics have dubbed Threads the “Twitter killer,” with one business analyst going so far as to say, “The cage match has started, and Zuckerberg delivered a major blow.”
