The American president, Joe Biden, opened an official account, this Monday (20), on the social network Threads, a competitor to the X platform (formerly Twitter), owned by Elon Musk, with whom the White House has a troubled relationship.
Biden, his wife, Jill Biden; vice president, Kamala Harris; and her husband, Doug Emhoff, as well as the White House, are now on Mark Zuckerberg’s social network (Meta/Facebook).
“Today, you will find me on a new platform, but my message has not changed,” the president wrote in his first post.
“I don’t see a dark, bleak, divided future for the United States. I see a United States about to take off”, continued the Democrat, who turns 81 this Monday (20).
Biden, candidate for a second term, is optimistic about his great opponent, Republican Donald Trump, who talks about the “decline” of the United States.
On Friday, in an especially aggressive statement, the White House accused Musk of having “abjectly promoted anti-Semitic and racist hatred” in one of his X posts.
Biden himself said just over a year ago that “it would be worth” examining the billionaire’s relations with foreign governments.
Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are no strangers to disputes on social media. The first even proposed facing the second in a public fight.
This plan, proposed several months ago, never materialized.
The enmity between the two seems to have intensified in early July with the launch of Threads, a direct competitor to X.
