I wonder is hiring people that got fired considered poaching?

Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over Threads | Semafor

The threat suggests that Threads is the most serious rival yet to Elon Musk's chaotic social platform.

Also the irony of Elon running to the courts to try to enforce contracts is šŸ’Æ. *

* At least I think its ironic, Alanis really screwed me up on that one.

How did I miss this beauty.
@paul lmfao oh my god that’s great
@paul This is going to be a hilarious case I REALLY hope goes to court. Like, watching someone try to defend a LOOSE idea of IP based on micro-blogging is maybe the stupidest play to make right now. Especially with how supportive Musk has been with Dorsey and Bluesky.
Twitter can be copied by ONE billionaire but not another?

@paul It must be the same legal firm that said Musk was deepfaked while attending an interview with hundreds of attendees.

They are creative, we can’t deny that.

@paul if Twitter 2.0 has managed one incredible feat, it’s making Meta look good
@paul
Former Twitter employees are totally a thing.

@paul quite sure you're right on the irony of this one

The story of him getting evicted from the building right here in boulder is big news. It's like they had a contract to pay rent or something, idk

@paul ā€œyour honor, in my defense, Alanis Morrissette really messed with my brainā€
@paul he’ll probably post a template contract online that’s miraculously backdated to like 2005, since they’ve backdated everything else they’ve done recently.
@paul courts? That’s so lame. I thought they were going to settle their disputes in the ring?
@paul man i wonder why these people were on the job market and felt they needed a new job fast, so fast theyā€˜d accept even an offer from a quite unpopular tech company like facebook, which will at minimum make your friends give you weird looks. I wonder why that is, elon. I wonder what wild and unlikely sequence of events might have led to this situation.
@halcy @paul If this is true, whose fault is it that they continue to have access?

@paul I don’t think ā€œpoachingā€ or any sort of employee noncompete is enforceable in CA and NY at the very least. Good luck though. šŸ™ˆ
@paul totally ironic. Like rain on your wedding day.
@markmalstrom @paul Like where are those 10,000 spoons when you need them huh? Gonna be real ironic when you have 10,000 bowls of soup for your 10,000 friends and all you have is a knife over there after you were just complaining about it.
@paul also lol at the idea that Facebook would need to steal trade secrets from Twitter to learn how to build a social network.
@nicklockwood
Not to mention half of all web development tutorials are "make a Twitter clone in 15 minutes"
@paul
@paul
Surely the irony is claiming that Twitter has any sort of proprietary technology or "secrets", when it's well understood that it's not a tech company, and it's tech is on the primitive side...
@paul like rain on your wedding day?
@paul What are you talking about? Alanis unwittingly created the single greatest artistic expression of irony. Now *that’s* ironic! 😜
@paul If its not ironic its certainly elonic
@paul if none of the lyrics are irony, does that make it ironic?

@bnut @paul

For what it's worth, Alanis did an updated version of the song one time that included "it's singing Ironic but there are no ironies" in the list...
