Maximum comedy option: Threads did hire people who had a non-compete, but it's unenforcable because Elon didn't pay them their severance.

Non-competes are nigh unenforceable anyway.

It would be in line with some other weird Facebook policies, like they don't allow business pages on FB without them being linked to a personal account.

jajajajaja *laughts in spanish* What Twitter does is nothing original, or unique of the service. Is a website that offer microblogging, with a recomendation algorithm, build on top of qlquery (or whatever is called). Theres nothing to steal, except the experience of buildings sites at that scale, that is a knowledge a group of individuals have, many of them abandoned the office when Elon fired them.

I might not understand this correctly but I think companies protect trade secrets by keeping them secret and using contacts to compel employees and former employees not to disclose them, in contrast to a patent, where the company discloses the secret and governments prevent other companies from using them for a period of time. If an ex-Twitter employee tells Zuck all of Musk's secrets and Musk finds out somehow, he could certainly sue the employee. In that case Musk could also sue to prevent Threads from using that secret because it was wrongfully acquired/disclosed. However, it sounds like no Twitter people were working on Threads, so if Musk just assumed that secrets got stolen because Threads is similar to Twitter (it's so conceptually straightforward it would have to be similar in many ways) rather than because he has some real evidence of it I hope Meta countersues him into oblivion.

The trade secrets ex employees could divulge are going to be things like: “don’t have a paid tier, that didn’t work” and “rate-limiting hurts traffic”, things of that nature.

Wouldn't he have to sue BlueSky and Mastodon too if the only real argument he has is that they copied Twitter's thing? Although now that he's upped the character count does Twitter even have a unique thing? It's basically LiveJournal now with different formatting

If I owned Twitter and could make insane decrees to my legion of coders, I'd implement a system where you can spend money to vandalize other profiles: change their profile images, their display name, even add or remove frivolous badges. $10 for every change. For a one-time $10 purchase you can remove ads indefinitely. I feel this novel approach would be very popular. Or at least funny.

Also, Meta is scraping Twitter data and poo poo.

I can’t imagine there is a lawsuit that Meta’s legal team is better prepared for than “defend against accusation we ripped off another tech company’s product”.

It was alleged in an earlier article linked here that no ex-twitter employees worked on the threads team. There is likely ex-twitter employees at meta in other projects but at this point every tech company probably has ex-twitter employees. I think the lawyer is bluffing and thinks showing some of the many, many people they fired is employed by meta is enough to build a case around. It's a very desperate play that is unlikely to go anywhere. I feel that even if the entire threads team was ex-twitter that they'd still have a hard time getting traction.
