But it's not normal. Elon has done a terrible job with Twitter from the beginning, and this is just one more error in judgment. Twitter will lose on this point unless they can prove that these people are using "secret inside info" at Threads. Courts take a dim view of not letting people pursue their livelihood. The fact that these people were fired does not help their case.
In America you can sue anyone for anything. This is probably just something the lawyer's added to their actual lawsuit regarding IP. Threads does look and act kind of like Twitter, but you can't patent a message board.
Secret insider info is that the twitter servers are burning and the remaining employees are probably just fucking around to see how they can get Elon into his demon mode 👿
I also read yesterday metas statement on this and the threads team doesn’t have any previous Twitter employees. They all work on other teams. Such a problematic world we live in.
