Since they are not your followers, you cannot send top-level or thread-starting tweets to them. You can only do that to your own followers.

You can post a response to a tweet of the desired account. This will go to all of the followers of the top-level tweet. Keep in mind that if your response is not addressing topics in the tweet you respond to, your response will probably be flagged as spam.
