Elon: “These geniuses will be of great use elsewhere”
The geniuses are hired by Meta to build a Twitter clone.
Elon: “Not like that!”
it is base, you have to know!
All jokes aside I believe Meta said they have no former Twitter employees on their engineering team.
I think someone smart foresaw Elon being a child. They deserve a nice bonus.
I’m curious what is a trade secret here.
Very basic functionality of twitter? Saving a message to a database?
Most of it is infrastructure.
Unless fucking up a blue check mark multiple times counts?
I’m curious what is a trade secret here.
it used to called “re-tweet”, but now it’s “re-thread”
It should be “weave” but apparently no one at meta knows what threads are used to do, so whatever…
A stitch. An unravel. A darn.
Funny how that then turned to Meta “poaching” them. LMAO
What do you bet in court proceedings it turns out that he in some way fucked up an NDA clause, thus torpedoing any chance his case had of succeeding?
AFAIK there is no case currently. They only threatened legal action.
I doubt there will be one. IMO this is just Musk talking shit because he’s mad people are ignoring Twitter.
I might be pretty ignorant here but what is so proprietary about Twitter/Threads? It just lets people make public status updates and share photos. Unless they literally used the same lines of code, how is it infringement and trade secrets?
It’s really not. Not to mention, like someone else said, Meta has said that they don’t even have any former Twitter employees on their engineering team for Threads.
It’s easy to make a website that lets random users post whatever they want and then display it in a feed. You could teach a novice how to do it in a weekend. Building a site that can scale to millions of users pretty much overnight is where the secret sauce is.
You mean a site like Facebook or Instagram?
Very meta
