Curious why you criticize for not having features that twitter has then saying it won't succeed if it's like twitter?
Twitter is dead, the successful launch is proof positive that they got caught slippin. Elon himself stated a majority of folks don't even post on twitter they just scroll, why launch an entirely different app if I can scroll and read the same folks on threads?

Just like the VHS war, Twitter allows porn. Meta likes to pretend it's family friendly.

Twitter is so ******, reputational damage for a company that relies on sponsors was just *chefs kiss*. Elon must have learnt such business tactics at a grad biz school
Zuck and Musk are both clowns...

Can twitter sue if they sacked the engineers who made this at threads? I feel like they forfeit that right with dismissal XD
Jks aside, think this was being developed before any twitter engineer even went to Meta so this lawsuit is as credible as a trump one

Got banned on Twitter twice but can’t delete my account. So I just lurk. It works for me.

That's not how the format war was settled.

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t a couple of the streaming platforms do this now? I have Comcast Xfinity but when I search through the apps (Amazon, Hulu, Apple TV) they have options to add other channels/services like Paramount, Showtime App, HBO Max, etc.

Threads is kinda boring. It’s like a chat feed in a computer game scrolling across the screen. It needs work.
RN it’s reminding me of Facebook.

A $90 million success fee is pretty extraordinary
I'm imagining Wachtell's senior partners reading this lawsuit and doubling over laughing

Absolutely. He started, stopped, reneged, reaffirmed on this deal so much. Also Wachtell is the top law firm so their fees are crazy. I’m sure he had the highest profile Partners they have working on it too. He was scouring the DD and agreement looking for reasons to breach

This should get thrown out, but Musk is having a tantrum so it’s funny to watch.

If he had been smart he would have made severance packages connected to them signing a multi year noncompete, but I doubt he did that since he took so much pleasure firing people the second he got there he didn’t set up any process to do it.
Everything with Musk is Hubris.

Elon is the perfect example of how the super rich are damn near bulletproof, Most of his business looks shady as hell. He seems to really not know what he's doing & throughout it all he somehow added 100 BILLION to his net worth the past year
This country is ******* insane
