The White House on Monday joined social media platform Threads, Meta’s rival to Elon Musk’s X social media platform.
The move, which the White House said has been in the works for several weeks, comes just days after the White House and others criticized Musk for amplifying and endorsing anti-Semitic posts.
Major media companies, including Comcast, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery, announced that they are pausing ads on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Messaging platform X on Monday sued media watchdog group Media Matters, claiming the organization defamed the platform after it published a report saying ads for major brands had appeared next to posts promoting Nazism.
The White House launched its own official account, as well as accounts for the president, First Lady, vice president, and second man. Additionally, a spokesperson for President Biden’s re-election campaign told CNN that the president, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, will launch personal accounts on Threads as well.
White House spokeswoman Robyn Patterson said the reason for the move was because “we are committed to meeting people where they are.”

The White House’s decision to join Threads gives the platform, controlled by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, added credibility. It also comes as several major public figures have declared that they are switching from X to Threads entirely, citing Musk’s behavior as the impetus for the move.
