Honestly gleeful at the prospect of Musk suing Zuck for misappropriation, as discovery will expose the obvious collusion between Dorsey/Bluesky, & Musk/Twitter.
Musk won't win claims against #Meta for #Threads because he hasn't tried to enforce against any misapp by #Bluesky, a direct competitor that hired Twitter employees & whose whole Board is ex-Twitter, & whose big attraction to users is that it's a copycat clone of Twitter - but Musk has never made a peep about it. And never will.

@chargrille How normal is it in these sorts of letters to not actually reference specific violations or things that Threads should stop doing? Because as far as I could tell skimming it earlier, the only thing they actually call out is that the app looks like Twitter, and right now you could field a baseball team with apps that look like Twitter.
It struck me as extremely vague, but then I don't read or write letters like these for a living
It is extremely vague. It looks like it was drafted on no information, just Musk telling them to do it. That said, it’s pretty easy to write a complaint with trade secret/misappropriation claims that can survive until discovery. Lawyers shouldn’t write them if the claims are frivolous or they know their client hasn’t defended the IP at issue, but there are dishonest clients and lawyers.
@chargrille Thanks! That's what I figured, but between my legal experience mostly amounting to "did grand jury once" and my possibly projecting my dislike of everyone involved onto the situation, I appreciate hearing insight from someone who, like, actually knows what they're talking about.
Definitely looking forward to your and the rest of legal fediverse's color commentary when the circus starts
