We say that a word $w$ of length $kn$ is a $k$-\textit{antipower} if it can be written in the form $w_1 \cdots w_k$, where each $w_i$ is a distinct word of length $n$. We analyze prefixes of the Thue-Morse word $\textbf{t}$ and lengths of antipowers occurring in them. Define $Γ(k)$ to be the largest odd $n$ such that the prefix of $\textbf{t}$ of length $kn$ is not a $k$-antipower, and $γ(k)$ to be the smallest odd $n$ such that the corresponding prefix is a $k$-antipower. We provide strong bounds on the asymptotic values of $γ(k)$ and $Γ(k)-γ(k)$. Our bounds on $γ(k)$ affirmatively answer one conjecture of Defant and make substantial progress towards answering a second conjecture of Defant. It was previously known that $Γ(k)$ and $γ(k)$ grow linearly in $k$, but our bounds on $Γ(k)-γ(k)$ prove that $Γ(k)-γ(k)$ also grows linearly in $k$.
