Meta’s Twitter clone, Threads, has amassed a giant user base in less than a day, and Twitter’s top brass are evidently spooked.
Soon after the launch, a Twitter attorney accused Meta of the “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property,” in a letter to Mark Zuckerberg obtained by Semafor.
The lawyer, Alex Spiro—a close Musk confidante—added that Twitter “reserves all rights, including, but not limited to, the right to seek both civil remedies and injunctive relief without further notice to prevent any further retention, disclosure, or use of its intellectual property by Meta.”
