1. Beyond the litigation and press statements, one factor that will determine which app comes back home with the head of it's opponent on a platter will be it acceptability and relevance to the already saturated microblogging sphere.

2. Thread was welcome with much fanfare and pomp and it experienced quite a high record of onboarding. But after all said has been done, who will come out victorious? I bet you only one way to find out.

3. It is my opinion that the excitement will wear and fizzle out after the initial hype and rush created by FOMO.

4. Also, the app does not have provision for trending topics which is key reason Twitter beats other SM. Though this feature can be easily incorporated into the new app in subsequent updates.

5. On the issue of censorship, which has been one of Twitters bionic arm, we all know how Zuck products can be over censored, will he act differently with this new app? If no, which is the very likely option seeing that he is an establishment man,Twitter won't have anything to fear.

6. Musk just needs to reinvent Twitter a bit, relax some of his draconic policies.

Moreso, Twitter has never been a populist app, so those who have been using it before now will likely remain, most of those rushing into the new app are still those using Instagram which in time to come, they will revert to status quo antebellum.
