The letter from Twitter's lawyer to Meta over Threads is comically bad. There's no substance, just a vague claim that Twitter employees Elon fired had some sort of dark magic in their brains about how to make a microblogging service.
they still have access to proprietary data but no mentions of NDAs huh, sounds like someone did a very shoddy job managing their mass firings
The side effect they're looking for could be the veiled threat against former Twitter employees currently working for Meta. Software development is a highly mental task and anxiety can easily interfere.
I just realized that Twitter's current CEO isn't cc'd... Did she not want to be? Or was she just not included in the decision to send this letter?
I can just imagine the huge argument that broke out when Musk insisted the letter include a reference to noncompete clauses... Just a bridge too far for his lawyers.
Musk seems to believe he owns his ex-employees in perpetuity and this letter is, at least in part, a warning to them as much as it is to Meta.
30 million users on day one. Elmo's sweatin' bullets.
Is there any significance to the letter repeatedly referring to the organisation as Twitter rather than the legal entity X Corp, which presumably now holds all the IP that used to belong to Twitter Inc?
There is a delicious irony in #SpaceCunt firing all the employees at twitter, thereby damaging the platform as there was no one to keep the wheels turning, and then those same employees working at a competing platform - enabled by the damage caused!
I'm interested in how former (fired) Twitter employees "continue to have" access to stuff. Sound like a Twitter problem to me, not a former employee problem.
