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.
