Twitter threatens to sue Meta over the new Threads app
(www.engadget.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Oh, cry me a river. Dude fired a bunch of folks, Meta swooped them up, looked at their experience, then asked them to work where their experience is relevant.
Musk 100% did this with other people working in the auto industry. He hired folks from other auto and tech industries, and he hired folks with relevant experience in similar tech.
Fuck this guy.
In California at least, "non-compete" clauses are illegal; Twitter here seems to be implying that they should be mandatory instead.
Hopefully this suit doesn’t go anywhere and doesn’t make it to the Supreme Court. I those morons, who know nothing about tech, totally voting in favor of Musk.
It's not like they just left either, he forced them out, now he wants them to not take what was probably the best paying job. You don't get to control where other people work and don't work, there's a name for that.
More like LMFAO. He facilitated his own competition in more ways than one.
Not only that, but Meta is even claiming that they don't have any former Twitter employees. Sounds like Musk is projecting. Either that, or he's grasping at straws.
I wouldn't be surprised if meta not only hired ex-tech employees, but also hired ex-legal employees.
IRC twitter fired half of all its legal dept.
