Elon Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson is in the news. She has been making comments against her father Elon Musk on and off. Trashing his work, views and more. The Fashion magazine Teen Vogue has done a profile of Vivian Wilson as part of its ‘Teen Vogue profiles’ for the month. The profile has 20-year-old Vivian Wilson express her thoughts on Astrology, Chappell Roan, and which social platforms she considers as deeply uncool. And it is Vivian Wilson, who is the Teen Vogue social media powerhouse, views on social media that are kinda ‘reality check’ for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Little surprise that she has no good words for Twitter, the platform owned by her father Elon Musk. However, for Mark Zuckerberg, her words should be ‘good and bad’
For, Wilson names Facebook among the so-called ‘deeply uncool’ platforms. She said that Facebook is only for older people. However, Wilson has high opinion about another Mark Zuckerberg-owned platform, which is Threads. Incidentally, Threads is Facebook’s rival to Twitter. In fact, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced Threads to take on Twitter, after it was acquired by Elon Musk in October 2022.
What Vivian Wilson said on Facebook and Threads
Wilson told Teen Vogue that she loves Threads and Bluesky. She calls herself a ‘Threads Queen’. But Wilson thinks that Facebook is not a place for people of her age, she said that Facebook is exclusively the domain of older people. For very obvious reasons she is not a fan of Twitter. “No one my age uses Facebook. Not a single soul on Earth, and I would rather eat a bowl of crickets and thumbtacks than join f**king Twitter,” she said.
When Mark Zuckerberg used Threads to say Twitter has missed its chance
Facebook parent Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had been quite vocal about Threads rival Twitter. In July 2023, Meta CEO used Threads to take a swipe at Twitter. Replying to his new Threads account to MMA fighter Mike Davis, who had asked if Threads could become bigger than Twitter, Zuckerberg wrote: “It’ll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1bn+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this, but hasn’t nailed it. Hopefully we will.”
In another Threads exchange, Zuckerberg said, “The goal is to keep it friendly as it expands. I think it’s possible and will ultimately be the key to its success,” he wrote. “That’s one reason why Twitter never succeeded as much as I think it should have, and we want to do it differently.”
