Its a round about way of Zuck giving Elon a loan without actually doing so, which presupposes Zuck will buy Twitter down the line

Geez how they heck did Meta manage to hire dozens of former Twitter employees???

Later in the article it says that the threads team has no former twitter employees on it.

Twitter has fired so many people that their lawyer felt that simply assuming that some are on the team wasn't that much of a gamble.

Isn't threads only a handful of people? I feel that wouldn't have been very hard to verify.

What show had a character who blocked his wife getting a divorce attorney by seeing every divorce attorney in town in order to create conflicts of interest?

It seems like twitter's plan is basically that. Fire so many people that they have a basis to blindly accuse ex-employees of leaking secrets to their new employers.

Yeah that's what I was getting at, couldn't find the source though. But if it is only 30 then it really should have been verified before pointless suing.

I mean Elon made a huge stink out of making The Algorithm public on Github even, I'd think that was a large ingredient in the secret sauce so maybe don't do things like that if you wanna keep things secret.

Look at me. I don't even know what a Facebook means. Everyone's talking about this "email" but I can't understand what that is. Is "wifi" a type of Chinese food? In my day, RAM was a type of truck and not some hoity toity computer word. I'm so cool that I think a web site is a location in my garage full of Camaros that contains spiderwebs.

Can't sex work from threads anyways so I'm sure it's bunk, at most you could link an onlyfans or something equivalent. And that's coming from someone wanting to "sell sex".
