Twitter has threatened to sue Meta after the Instagram parent company launched Threads on July 5, 2023, accusing it of trade secret thefts by hiring former Twitter employees. The new messaging app is seen as the biggest rival to the struggling site owned by Elon Musk. More than 30 million people had signed up within 24 hours after Threads went live in 100 countries, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said.

He happily fired the former twitter employees. He doesn’t have a right to still try to control them.

[DREWDOWN]

Elon: Everyone is replaceable, you’re fired.

Ex-Employees: Your app is replaceable too.

Buying Twitter was a Mistake for him, He did an Emotional purchase. I know he regrets it now but he is trying because he spend 44 Billion on it and want to recover it back.

Muskrat buys a hotel, then immediately lights it on fire.
Zuckles opens a hotel and says "Hey everyone! My hotel isn't on fire!"
Muskrat screeches "THAT'S CHEATING!!!"

[loctruong]

When you fire your employees abruptly, they join your rival who respect and pay them well. That's not cheating, that's life.

[thunderfire]

The timing is perfect, especially after the Twitter rate limit

The sour grapes is really strong with this frivolous threat of a lawsuit.

Twitter is on the ropes and getting more desperate.

Elon : trolling Twitter users with his weird ideas

also Elon : why is this Threads copying my product? See you in court buddy

[Steven-xfmz]

employees are people, it's not like you can wipe clean their hard drive when people quit, so yeah, people do take the experience and memory with them to new companies. It's called talent retention, companies are only valuable because there are people making up the service/product that are being offered, employees are like assets for service industry, you lose some, somebody else must have gained some.

[canuck]

You need to give away much more of your private life to Threads than you do to Twitter.

[MatsUnden]
