Now comes the interesting part. In the face of Meta's Threads, does Musk change his behavior with #Twitter -- pricing, verifications, moderation, etc. in any ways?

@lauren I think that comment during his CNBC interview in May is telling: "'Offer me money. Offer me power. I don't care.'” His mind is made up that he's playing N-dimensional chess and has seen so far ahead that he doesn't need to change course.

His lawsuit against Meta for IP infringement reeks of desperation.Threads seems hastily hacked together and leverages Facebook/Instagram infrastructure, which is likely radically different from Twitter's, I doubt he can make a credible case.
