When you're going to snub your corporate and hd ??? ??philosophical rival, you might as well do it with a little flair.
That seems to be the thinking of Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, who, on Dec. 17, not only unfollowed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Twitter account, but also threw in a little hidden easter egg just to make sure we all got the fuck youmessage.
It started with Dorsey following @BigTechAlert, a Twitter account that, in its own words, "[follows] what the CEOs and other high executives from Big Tech companies do on Twitter[.]"

And, of course, @BigTechAlert notified its followers of this move.
"@jack is now following @BigTechAlert," tweeted the account.

Having done this — thus signifying that he was aware of the @BigTechAlert account and knew it would blast his Twitter moves to the account's followers, Dorsey then unfollowed Zuckerberg's account.
"@jack is no longer following @finkd," alerted the account.

We reached out to Twitter in an effort to determine Dorsey's reason for unfollowing Zuckerberg, but received no immediate response.

Of course, there is one other possibility, however small: Zuckerberg logged into Twitter and blocked Dorsey — thus causing Dorsey's account to unfollow Zuckerberg's account. Although, seeing as how Dorsey just followed @BigTechAlert today, we doubt it.
Either way, we're totally here for this social media laser-killed CEO beef. Here's hoping this is only the beginning.
UPDATE: Dec. 17, 2019, 12:18 p.m. PST: Speaking of lasers, a Twitter spokesperson replied to our request for comment with the following: "🐐."
Yeah, literally just a goat emoji.
Thankfully, no goats appear to have been killed in the making of that corporate statement.
