Twitter threatens to sue Meta over rival Threads app

In a letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, a lawyer for the Elon Musk-owned app said Meta had unlawfully misappropriated trade secrets

Is Musk for real?
He wants to sue that another company hired some of the thousands of employees he decided to fire?

Every day i am more ashamed that ive been a Musk fanboy before this whole Twitter thing :(

I would wager the biggest driver of the Tesla stock recent increase is the deals they’ve signed with other manufacturers to use their charger network.

Which yes brings them revenue, but also removes the one real reason to buy their cars over the competition. So it’ll be interesting to see what happens to their market share of EV sales over the next 5-10 years as the established manufacturers bring out more and more models and prices drop.

Awww, the poor billionaire who was born with a silver spoon in his arse and bought everything he's famous for and invented nothing other than a pretend Tony Stark personality to impress the stupidest people on the Internet.

I think you'll find Musk founded Twitter.

There is nothing proprietary about Twitter UX. All other clones have copied it already. It is probably their Algos driving the feed and hashtag trends that can covered by patents if they applied for same.

The conspiracy theorist inside me believes the main reason Musk bought it is for the 2024 elections. His shenanigans are carefully designed to drive away active liberal voices so he'll end up with the giant right-wing echo chamber that they've always dreamed of. Still full of millions of people that don't really give a shit about all the drama (the vast majority of twitter users), that they can bombard with well crafted misinformation. Funding is not really an issue, $44billion is cheap as chips relative to the collective scumbags around the world that benefit from Trump getting back in power, or just want to see the US burn.

Well, in about two days Threads has reached 15 to 20% of Twitter's userbase. Could this be it?

After a few weeks of elontweeter i started to think the same. Twitter will lose value, but he will get it elsewhere through the push of right wing narrative political perversion. Maybe through tesla subsidis, space X comtracts or straight corruption payments

The first two you'd see in their accounts. The latter is very likely to be a story in a few years I'm sure.

Because its just an extension to Instagram. Its crap tbh. I don’t want to read the thoughts of the brain dead narcissists I follow on Instagram. I followed them cause they’re hot and I wanted to smash.

The journalists, academics and the other experts in their field don’t use Instagram and likely won’t migrate. The timeline is weird too. They must have enough info given I doom scroll Instagram a lot, my TL should be better tailored to my taste. Also no follower only tab is fecking weird.

A couple of months and Threads will be a ghost town unless they introduce major features.

Elon invented internet payments, electric cars and twitter. only those whove taken the red pill and swallowed the globalist agenda think otherwise. and lesbian commies.
(he didnt invent lesbian commies). might have helped on their journey though.

Wait a second, I thought being red pilled makes one based?

I'm so confused. :(

Can't believe he actually wrote that. Pathetic.
