Elon Musk Mocks Instagram As He Shares Meme Showing It As Barbie & Twitter As Oppenheimer
Elon Musk agreed with an unexpected analogy between the rivalry of Meta Platforms Inc.¡¯s META Instagram and Twitter and the contrasting worlds of ¡°Barbie¡± and ¡°Oppenheimer¡± movies.
With just one day left for Barbie and Oppenheimer to release, the world's richest person, Elon Musk, has shared a meme mocking Mark Zuckerberg's Instagram, with the tweet featuring the two soon-to-be released movies.
Elon Musk Shares Meme Showing Instagram As Barbie & Twitter As Oppenheimer

Today morning, a Twitter user sparked an interesting discussion by comparing Instagram to "Barbie" and Twitter to "Oppenheimer".
The user who tweeted the meme likely saw Instagram as colourful and light-hearted, much like the whimsical world of "Barbie" portrayed by Margot Robbie, and Twitter was seen as more intense, akin to the biopic "Oppenheimer," which delves into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the renowned physicist involved in creating the first nuclear weapons, as per a report in the US-based financial news website Benzinga.
Elon Musk not only retweeted the post but also commented with an emoji implying a direct or on-target hit.

Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino Shares Her Movie Plans
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino too did not hold back and joined the ¡°Barbenheimer¡± conversation, suggesting that she acknowledges the inherent humour in the coincidence that the pink-hued ¡°Barbie¡± movie and the weighty ¡°Oppenheimer¡± biopic were set to release on the same day.
It's #Oppenheimer and then #Barbie for me...what about you @Twitter? https://t.co/MjC8MJY8L8

Linda Yaccarino also revealed her viewing plan by mentioning that she will be opting to watch Christopher Nolan's ¡°Oppenheimer¡± first. This could be a strategy to need a lighter counterpart like ¡°Barbie¡± to balance the emotional intensity of the ¡°Oppenheimer¡± experience, as the report mentioned.
