Mark and Elon! just get in the cage and fight it out!! and Mark, didn’t you steal friendster?
Sue for what?!?😂😂
For hiring his fired tech guys.. 😂. As if musk owns them.
@frances simmondsu think mark any better than elon 😂. Mark call people “dumb” in a text message who use facebook in early days.
@Celebrities Shorts
Ally with him to destroy Twitter, then part ways
@Celebrities ShortsProbably
he is Referring to Elon & his Simps. 😂
RIP twitter 2023 😂
Nothing is going to happen. What is Meta going to do? Un-release it?
At the worst, pay a small settlement.
Elon complaining that zuck is using his ex employee 😂, why sack them if you don’t want them elsewhere. Are they supposed to stay unemployed??
The court can force meta to shut down the app if the court determines meta has violated some form of intellectual property law
@lookbeyondtheillusion But they didn’t. How many websites look and function the same as other websites? Elon is just a crybaby.
@Rabbid Raccoon lol dude meta hired at least 2 dozen former Twitter employees with known working knowledge of Twitters intellectual property. Then turned around and within months releases an app to rival Twitter with basically the exact same programming. Depending on how much these employees knew. And wether they signed nda agreements. This could be bigger than you assume. Not to mention the fact that meta already has a stranglehold on social media, so there are anti monopoly issues here too
Someone like myself who has nothing but YouTube hopes to one day see social media become non existent to include YouTube.
I’m not against this but I don’t think it will ever happen 😞
You post alot for hating it 🙄
Who freaking cares!!!!!
They need the trade secrets on what not to do. Only useful info twitter can give now.
Losers meta has the money
Here I am just wishing they both lose everything.
What regulations? Couldn’t spend just a little bit more time explaining things in detail.
Threads is a terrible name. It’s almost on par with Truth Social.
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter are all great names. Threads and even Meta are not
who tf cares about the name? How old are you?
Terrible or not, it’s a name every social media user is mentioning right now.
Still 30 Million Users didn’t mind it 😂
@Johnny Doeyou mean bots?
I can see some people from other countries having trouble pronouncing. But it’s not a bad name.
Musk knows that he’s in deep trouble.
Good luck with that.
lol lame site nope why go on a off brand twitter when you have the name brand twitter
Because Twitter sucks.
Elon Musk is a twit.
Meta is losing creativity while having liability…isn’t it?
Haha
Delete that dirty data.
I like the idea but it kinda sucks with no dms
Meta is just a form of mind control. It’s useless.
Soft
Hey Elon, it’s your own fault that everybody is looking for a different app. Your fault entirely.
Expecting a billionaire to take accountability? What is this madness?
Don’t sue, just have a battle at the colosseum.😂😂
That’s what I have been waiting for, a cage fight
Let the bots roll out 🥐🤖♿
WHo CARES!!!!
I never ever use that Crap!
I’ll never use anything markzuckburg made (or copied)
Elon Simp Spotted 😂
@Johnny Doe don’t have Twitter either thanks for noticing like and subscribe
Threads has no chronological timeline, just algorithm feed. That sucks.
1:01 My point exactly.
Elon and his Basement Fangirls
getting MAD. 😂
Meta have copied Snapchat with instagram stories, Tik Tok with reels and now Twitter with Threads. Nothing new and nothing original is coming out of Meta. The worse part is people are actually happy but are not aware that if they want to delete their Threads, they are gonna be forced to delete their instagram. Sorry attention seekers 😂😂
Cry about it
And now the company owned by the free speech guy is threatening to sue them. What happened to the competition on capitalism? 😂
Elon thought he had Twitter for granted? C’mon!
But I’m rooting for the sue, cuz a conflict between those two companies would be insane xD
This would not surprise me if the new social media platform created by Mark Zuckerberg is a copy cat of Twitter. After all, look how he got Facebook.
Go ahead Melon Husk, keep weaponizing the justice system, and then tick off the presiding JUDGE who if this is in California is probably a Democrat.
nothing is going to happen plain and simple. elon musk is butt hurt.
Remember? Other social media platforms have already copied Facebook 😏 Twitter still has a plan to become a super app by copying Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, WhatsApp, Paypal, and Robinhood too. From what I see, only reposting on Threads looks like retweeting on Twitter but overall Threads looks like Instagram more than Twitter. It’s literally just Instagram with a repost feature.
Where is the app I can’t find it in the play store!!
“I would like to apologize for firing these geniuses. Their immense talent will not doubt be of great use elsewhere” – Elon Musk, November 15, 2022
Turns out they were. They went to a competitor and helped build them a new platform to rival Twitter, and now Elon is fuming. Sorry Elon, that’s how capitalism works.
Competition is Fine , Cheating is Not – Elon Musk
Me be like : If you can’t stand the techno competition then youre weakling sour grape
What did he expect with all the damage he did
Facebook copied myspace…
Hey
I hope meta loses
Well meta is run by criminals! We got hacked accounts and nobody helps us!
