Thoughts on social media sites? UPDATE: Apple, IBM, Disney, etc. stopped advertising on Twitter - Musk suing

[JM4CY]

starling you idiot!

Whatever. Both just a rat with wings.

Creating "copycat" websites isn't a legal thing so the cease and desist is BS. Musk has no standing to sue and he knows it. Everything he does is for showmanship, ego, or money. This is for the first of the three. He's nothing more than an informed investor. This is the same guy that even sued Tesla to put him as a founder of the company when he was no such thing. He's a douche.

The way certain people treat him like a cult leader is beyond disturbing. He's proven he doesn't care about free speech and is nothing more than a far right-wing nutcase with a big bank account.

Well the rumor is they hired ex twitter employees with old twitter phones and laptops, so if that is true then yes he has a legal case.

Twitter threatens legal action over Threads, calling Meta's new app a 'copycat'

The Elon Musk versus Mark Zuckerberg cage match may actually take place in a courthouse after the Meta CEO launched his new app Threads on Wednesday.

“No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing,” communications director Andy Stone said.

Already proven to be BS. Meta says not a single developer is a former Twitter employee. And I doubt they'd lie about something very easy to disprove.

A lot of the things you write here about Musk is the same things that we are openly cheering Brett Yormark for in other threads. A lot of showmanship, has an ego, and is getting other conferences worked up by not doing the things that others expect him to do. Many times, it comes down to whether you agree with them or not. I don't really have much of an opinion on Musk since I don't use any of his products to my knowledge and don't pay much attention to him.

I think I would trust Eric Gordon more in a business ethics situation than anyone at Meta...

Not me. His rebounding numbers are awful.

I don't disagree. Most people of power have enormous egos, it's almost hand and hand. But, Brett Yormark hasn't proven to be a borderline psycho outside of work.

I've never heard of Madison Hotels.

I've never heard of Madison Hotels.

Billy Madisons dad owned them and handed over control to Billy after he finished school.

You haven't? Here is the CEO

Outstanding.

Rumor is they hired a bunch of EX twitter employees that still had old laptops and phones. Big no no in the intellectual property space...

He fired all of them. They are free to seek other employment, and of course given their job experience theyd be well suited to another social network. Maybe he should have treated the employees better.

And theres really not much unique about the site itself that they could have stolen. A bunch of sites have tried to do similar things. Threads just has the benefit of Meta's massive userbase tied in

Algorithms are intellectual property, if they have ex employees old computers and phones that's an issue as well. It also depends if said employees have non competes. Not up to date on California labor laws, but I know they are not a right to work state.
