0 to full platform in 5 months doesn’t seems impossible when you are Meta, especially for a Twitter-like.
Still impressive, but the hard part of launching a Twitter competitor is not technical, especially when you already have a virtually infinite amount of already competent developers and infrastructure and when you don’t need the product to make money asap.
The hard part is launching it commercially and giving it enough momentum.
Like the adage says, I can code Twitter in a weekend but it will not be Twitter and it will not magically make money.
