Threads, the new “Twitter killer” app rolled out by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has surpassed 100 million users in less than a week while Elon Musk’s micro-blogging site has seen traffic “tanking,” according to a tech executive.

The initial burst of success for Threads has fueled a war of words between Musk and Zuckerberg.

The Twitter boss referred to his tech rival as a “cuck” and challenged him to a “d–k measuring contest” over the weekend.

Not only have users been signing up to Threads through their Instagram accounts, but they have also been posting prolifically.

Since the system went online Wednesday, Threads users have written more than 95 million posts and clicked “like” on 190 million posts, according to The Verge.

While Threads has gained momentum in its first few days of operation, Twitter’s traffic has reportedly been “tanking,” according to the CEO of cybersecurity firm Cloudfare.

Matthew Prince, the company CEO, posted a graph to both his Twitter and Threads accounts on Sunday showing the steep decline in traffic.

Prince’s data dovetails with figures released by Similarweb, the web analytics company which said that web traffic to Twitter was down by 5% over the course of the first 48 hours during which Threads went online.

According to Similarweb, Twitter’s web traffic is down 11% compared to the same period last year.
