Mark Zuckerberg once trashed Apple. Now he’s thanking its new CEO — and had to do it on Elon Musk’s X, not Threads

But to tag him, he had to use Elon Musk's X (NASDAQ:SPCX), not Threads, the Twitter rival his own company launched in July 2023. Zuckerberg shared the news on X, attaching a photo of two Mac Studios on a desk with a chat window and lines of code open on the monitor behind them. "Muse Spark Open — weights releasing today — runs great on new Mac Studios thanks to work with @johnternus and Apple," he wrote.
