He’s just upset zuck didn’t pay $42B for his app

The hard part is scaling and building a user base, but threads simply bootstrapped both off Instagram so it probably wasn’t hard for them to make.

I bet they copied some code for mastodon and paid Gargron to not try to go after them. That would definitely give them a huge lift. Otherwise, I don’t see how they were able to quickly come up with this. Tech companies take forever to build stuff usually
Sorry, you lost this bet. It’s not mastodon they copied, but Instagram: https://www.emergetools.com/deep-dives/threads
He is literally a man-child at this point
Always has been.

If you’re in California, be aware that there’s a hidden/sneaky “EV tax” and you’ll be paying (nearly) double registration fees every year. Mine went from $330 to alamost $700.
Also public charging is starting to be a problem as there’s not nearly enough charging stations and CA does nothing about it.
You’re also not paying gas taxes though. They have to make up the lost gas tax revenue somehow. Realistically, it should be based on the miles driven and the weight of the car (road damages increases exponentially with the weight of the vehicle), but for now they just have that flat EV tax.
Try charging a non Tesla while on a road trip, you’ll learn fast.
I just went MA -> TN -> OH -> MA and only had one place where all stations were offline, but they came back within a half hour.
I’ve never had a Tesla supercharger be offline.
However I’ve had several EA chargers derated, one at 30kWh. Not to mention broken stalls. Or how about EA charging me the full price even though I paid for their membership thing?
ChargePoint never hit full speed on my last trip.
A random CCS station did better than any of the big names.
Tesla is by far the most reliable, why do you think auto companies are changing to NACS?
I’ve just remembered “I’m a free speech absolutist, but not when it comes to parodies of me” and “tweeting my publicly available flight logs is sending out assassination coordinates”. What a joke of an individual. Cry more Elmo.
The same as they first in line to get government money and whine when extra cent goes to public needs.
Using government subsidies to lobby against welfare…
Elmo truly is its own parody account
It’s not cheating to hire the workers you unceremoniously fired to save money asshole. It’s called capitalism.
Then again, every super wealthy capitalist doesn’t actually want capitalism. They want feudalism, where nobody else is allowed to compete with them and if someone makes them angry they can banish them from society without trial.
I keep telling you that we need to eat the rich.
What kind of silverware should we use
If we’re bbq’ing and you’re using silverware I think you’re doing it wrong, all bbq is finger food and bread is your napkin. It’s like the only time eating like you’re 6 when you’re 56 is socially acceptable.
That’s a valid point, what kind of cookware should we use and how should we catch the wild game?
“Competition is fine” says the guy that was born into wealth and was given a huge leg up in life. Although, I really hope they duke it out in court with Meta just so they burn through piles of money needlessly.
this one is so damn good :)
What part of it is supposed to be cheating?
Poaching Twitter employees and stealing “trade secrets”.
Because you know, it has nothing to do with the fact that Threads is basically just Instagram with no pictures.
This moron fired almost all team before that
Also according the Meta communications director, “No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing,”

Elon fired so many people he just thought some bound to have ended up in that team and was just shooting in the dark.
Lol that’s hilarious. Court case will probably just be quietly withdrawn. Or loudly thrown out.
I like the thought of a long awkward silence in the courtroom and Elon’s lawyer quietly shuffle out.
Isn’t the FTC in the process of banning non-compete agreements? So the rules that Musk is claiming were broken are on their way out?
NCAs are already largely unenforceable anyway. Federal and state laws prohibit them except in cases of direct competition and the employee having specialized knowledge or skills. And even then, they can’t be for long periods of time, and if they would prevent the employee from a livelihood they can’t be enforced.
Usually what happens is someone who has a NCA will be hired by a new employer. That employer will see how long the NCA is in force and just have the employee on the payroll but not working until it expires. That, or they will pay the penalty in the NCA, whichever is cheaper.
Twitter is in direct competition with Facebook/meta/threads. And Twitter layoffs were 6 months or less ago. And these guys presumably have specialized knowledge.
So it seems like many of the criteria would be met.
And it’s already illegal in California where both Twitter and Facebook are headquartered
NCA usually for employees that resigned. That would be messed up if they can just hire some smart people and immediately fires them to block them for joining competitors
Welfare queen, that relies on government subsidies to run his business, accuses other billionaires of cheating in the market. Hilarious
I’m sure Meta’s lawyers are shaking in their boots lol
It’s not cheating to have a similar UI. Fuck off Musk.
It’s not like twitters ui is even clever
What a rube.
What they do is pass laws to make their cheating legal and therefore not cheating, while making actual honest competition illegal, and therefore cheating. The game is easy when it’s rigged.
I can’t believe I’m rooting for The Zuck. Worse case of “enemy of my enemy” ever.
Though if Twitter does fall Meta should be next. It won’t be, but it’s nice to imagine.
We’ve really entered the Twilight Zone. I’m rooting for The Zuck to win this battle and I’m rooting for Disney in Florida.
As much as Disney influenced my childhood, I definitely have my criticisms on their practices as a company.
Them fighting Ronny is not one of them. I was gonna make a pun on Desantis, but I drew up blank
