Tom Brady is making the move to Threads (like countless others) due to Twitter's recent restrictions announced by CEO Elon Musk. Musk stated that accounts that do not have a monthly subscription will be limited to seeing 600 posts per day. Verified accounts will have the ability to see up to 6K posts a day.

The Twitter CEO tweeted that the limitations would increase to 800 posts for unverified accounts and 8K posts for verified accounts. Ultimately, Musk agreed upon 1K unverified accounts and 10K tweets for verified ones.

Tom Brady is having a great time following his NFL career, which can be seen on social media. He was recently spotted in the Hamptons at Michael Rubin's 'White Party,' with the likes of Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and rapper Travis Scott.

Yet, his focus will shift back to football soon enough, as he bought a share of the Las Vegas Raiders and will be with FOX Sports in 2024.
