Hope they bankrupt each other.
In the teeth!!
Sounds like this needs to be settled in a cage match fight!
They’re insufferable enough cunts as it is, can you imagine what they’d be like after the ego massage of winning a cage fight?
What “ego massage”? Zuckerberg would mop the floor with Musk and they both know that. One is a 39 and has actually won martial arts tournaments, the other one is 52 and looks like he would pant after walking to the ring.
One of them would be only slightly worse, but the loser would be better by a larger delta.
Exactly. That cage match bullshit is the lowest of the low in entertainment.
Normally I’d agree but the prospect of two dudes I find morally repugnant trying to punch each other in the face has a certain appeal, since no matter how it goes at least one person I think deserves to get punched in the face is gonna get punched in the face.
All well and good, until you realize that an event like that would only propel their fame/infamy even further at our expense.
The best thing that could happen is everyone just stop caring about what they do. Let them make themselves obscure and irrelevant.

Fucking beans
Wonder if Zuckerberg employed former Twitter devs on Thread work. Would be another hilarious example of Musk shooting himself in the foot.
That’s pretty likely, given how many have left in the past year, and it’s possibly a very big problem for Meta. Apple in their early days infamously asked candidates if they were “virgins”. It was not (as Hollywood likes to portray) about their sexual history, but whether they had ever touched or seen IBM’s proprietary code. Apple needed to do a clean-room development and implementation of the same thing. They knew IBM would sic the lawyers on them, and they had to prove they did it using nothing but publicly available info.
The article has absolutely no detail on what these trade secrets might be, or if they will be upheld in court, so we can only speculate. But if these really are trade secrets, and Meta poached them, then we could be talking serious damages or even an injunction.
But knowing the courts, this won’t actually be decided for years and it won’t even matter by then
Judge: And what forms of inducement did he use to hire them away?
Elon: Uh, well your honor, after I fired them all, he offered them stable employment?
Per the article Meta claims no ex-Twitter employees worked on Threads.
They’ve probably served as “consultants” at the bare minimum though
Probably, it’d be pretty stupid not to put his ex-Twitter engineers on the Threads projects. But it’s entirely legal to have your employees work on something close to what they did at their last job. I’d be very, very surprised if Meta knowingly allowed stolen IP to be incorporated into their new product, Musk needs to provide some evidence to back his claims.
I’d personally love to see Zuck and Musk have a “Who can afford better lawyers” war. That’d be a sight to see.
I’m sure the lawyers would love it too.
Is Musk gonna pay the lawyers tho because he’s sure as shit not paying anyone else.
He’ll just rate-limit his legal correspondence.
This is so Elon playbook , send in the lawyers and see what happens. TBH these games are irreverent to normal people, lets de-fed from any corporate instance and just build a better community
It’s unclear what evidence Twitter has that former employees who now work at Meta continue to have access to Twitter intellectual property or trade secrets. Twitter responded to a request for comment with an automated email of a poop emoji.
Or for once the poop emoji is an accurate representation of the “evidence.”
Stopped clock and all that.
Imagine if other similar formats sued each other like this - one forum site suing another because they both use text-based forum communication. I’m so tired of facebook/meta/twitter/etc.
What “trade secrets” does he claim were stolen? Obviously ex-Twitter employees who move to Meta know their tech stack. But there’s not a chance that their codebases are compatible so even if someone directly carried cover over from Twitter to a new job at Meta, it’s not like it would be useful.
And if he thinks current Meta employees are still accessing Twitter IP/code/etc, Elon probably needs to first look internally and maybe not fire entire security & compliance teams.
Hopefully Threads can tank all the lawsuits from Twitter, so that Mastodon can operate in peace lol.
I wonder tho, how much Threads has copied from Mastodon
That would be fine with me if they had no effect on me and lived in a vacuum. Which I propose we put them in. The vacuum of space or a vacuum tube at the bottom of the ocean, either works for me.
Someone seems butt hurt 😂
FreezePeach!
Let them cook!
Ahhh, now this is funny. Honestly made my day brighter.
