Meta stole Twitter engineering secrets to make Threads?

Elon: "Competition is fine, cheating is not." Meta did systematic, wilful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property to create Threads. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1677042708756439041?s=46&t=Sjluoz4S7cNVuxMuAu4u9A https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/06/tech/twitter-meta-threads-legal-threat/index.html

It's not even that. It's just a five paragraph childish rant.

He cut 80% of his staff. I’m sure the employees that he claims walked off with the secret sauce were claimed to be non-essential employees for a RIF or pushed out by his hostile work environment.

Seeing as threads is currently down I am starting to believe it

more fake news from the propaganda mill

Google XnDw38 Jul 6, 2023

what secrets? Look at the threads, 3 buttons and text with pictures. Meta already has infra to scale it.

Google blindly__ Jul 6, 2023

Everything threads needs meta was already good at. I mean at the end of the day it's literally just Facebook with less features.

Honestly this is the answer lmao. I still don't get why people think Facebook is for boomers but Twitter is somehow hip. It's literally the same

Meta PNLF27 Jul 6, 2023

Because people hate the extra features. FB literally was successful because of its simple approach vs MySpace. Over the years, that’s been totally lost.

Basically they did a bit of hacking on the guts of Instagram. It’s not like Twitter is doing any cutting edge stuff that others are not already doing. Lawsuit is a big nothing.

Meta facebook24 Jul 6, 2023

None of the Threads engineers worked at Twitter. Baseless lawsuit from desperate, scared company.

Meta todger Jul 6, 2023

Is that true? Not that I see anything wrong with hiring them. I just assumed we did.

What ip would they actually take from Twitter lol?

Elon is a clown. A media hype propped up to sell news articles

Typical Elon, when the game's not going his way, he accuses other players. I mean the dude literally showed off about open sourcing Twitter code AND bragged about how he got rid of 75%+ of his employees. Now he's mad, they got another job lol
