When will musk start suing twitter-like apps like Threads, Blue sky, Mastodon and etc just for the 🤡 points
Wasn't he going to sue Threads for "stealing their talent" (hiring some of the massive amounts of programmers they got rid of)?
Did he ever go through with that, or did his lawyers manage to talk him out of it?
There is no followup yet after his threats unfortunately
Probably went straight to the Meta lawyers’ trash when they received it. AFAIK Musk has nothing to stand on with that case.
Yeah the there's probably nothing to infringe upon with Twitter code. The only basis it theoretically had was if business secrets had been shared, and from what I've heard there's basically no evidence of any business secrets bring leaked to Threads; it's even unclear if there's any non-disclosure or stuff that could be violated if developers are talking about code and structure.
Looks like the cease and desist wasn't worth the paper it was written on.
