    Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees

    LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?

    I'm sure twatter would have a no compete clause if they could. Maybe they can?

    IANAL, but from what I understand, you can put anything you want in a contract, but it doesn't mean it's enforceable.

    So the reason why companies put in non-compete clauses is mostly because people believe it, not because it's really enforceable.

    Now if former twitter employees were still getting severance from Twitter while working at Meta, that could be an issue. But generally speaking, if you're not getting money (consideration) non-compete clauses don't matter much.

    I think that it is also different if you get fired. Don’t know in detail, but I assume that if they fire you without a valid cause they don’t have any grounds to complain that you did a sensitive and unique work.

    Lmfao. Well, thanks for the free PR, I'm sure, because some poor secretary in his office knows there isn't jack shit they can sue over.

    Not that I'm ever going to pretend to like Meta, but having competition is supposed to be the definition of his precious free market. There's even rules and everything about monopolies. Can't take issue with that unless he's ready to declare himself not a capitalist.

    Fuckerberg should just send that Muskrat a poop emoji.

    We should just start inciting for them to have a no-holds-bar, hell-in-a-cell, ladder, hardcore cage fight to the death. Then, when its over, we just don't open the cage.

    I don't think it's your competitors that are the problem, Twitter.

    Maybe that was their game with the federation stuff. "Hey we didn't start this, we were just following suit on this open source project". Anyway this logic wouldn't fly in any court, they can't have a copyright on text-based social media. They can only own their branding. Musk is just throwing a hissy fit again

    Eh anyone can threaten to sue. Let me know if he finds a lawyer to file that thinks they have standing. I wonder if mom competes are valid if you get laid off. They are mostly not valid at all in California already.

    Can't they just fist-fight each other and disappoint all of the viewers already?

    I demand a match in the Thunderdome.

    On the other hand, it would be the most boring match ever...like two wet noodles fighting...

    Sue for what? Such an entitlement. Should ford and GM sue him for competing with their car business?
