Competition fine, Not cheating: Musk threatens to sue Zuckerbeg

Competition fine, Not cheating: Musk threatens to sue Zuckerbeg

Twitter has threatened to sue Meta Platforms (META.O) over its new Threads. The new platform has run into legal trouble just hours after its launch. While the app has already gained over 30 million users since being launched on Thursday,  Its rival has threatened a lawsuit, claiming that Threads violates Twitter's “intellectual property rights”. Elon Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro has written to Meta CEO Marc Zukerberg accusing him of "unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property." The letter was first published by the news outlet Semafor. Lawyer Spiro demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information," Spiro wrote in the letter. The letter accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who "had and continue to have access to Twitter's trade secrets and other highly confidential information." 

 Twitter owner Musk said, "Competition is fine, cheating is not," in response to a tweet citing the news.

"No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that's just not a thing," Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a Threads post.Since Musk's takeover of the social media platform last October, Twitter has received competition from Mastodon and Bluesky among others. Threads' user interface, however, resembles the microblogging platform. Instagram and Facebook, both owned by Meta, have a long — and successful — history of copying products from upstart internet competitors. The company's Reels feature was a knockoff of TikTok's viral video app, and its Stories disappearing posts followed the rise of Snapchat.
