Twitter founder, Jack Dorsey, was turned down a follow request from Mark Zuckerberg on Threads days after the launch of the app.
Taking to Twitter, Dorsey, who stepped down as Twitter’s chairman in 2021 – posted a screenshot of his own Threads account after the app’s surprise rollout last week.
There is a note next to the photo, which says: ‘Zuck requests to follow you’.
Apparently unmoved by getting the request, the former Twitter boss wrote: ‘Too soon b.’
Netizens found the exchange interesting. One joked: ‘Block him jack,’ while another jokingly wrote a statement as if it came directly from the Meta boss.
He wrote: “Hey I made this new app and I kinda regret it – do you have any advice’.
In a related development, Elon Musk, Twitter’s new owner, may have lost around $30billion on his investment in the company, after several changes and layoffs, and the introduction of the ‘kinder’ app Threads.
