    Elmo is angy that Meta hired the employees he fired (or who quit because Twitter’s a fucking dumpster fire) to build a Twitter-like service.

        I thought the same when people described those 2 jabronis that fucked up the end of Game of Thrones as D&D. Like come on, fam. D&D is way cooler than those 2.

        According to them they did hire some former Twitter employees but didn’t have them working on threads.

          It doesn’t even matter, Elvis fired them, slandered them on Twitter, and now he’s upset that a different company hired them??? Are they supposed to just stay unemployed?

            Many fired devs also had a working visa, so if they wouldn’t have work, they would have to move back. I don’t root for Meta, but i can take a little win if Musk is losing.

            Its also worth noting that even though musk isn’t happy about it, legally he can’t do shit. He fired those people; Meta did not poach those employees.

      In the letter sent to the Zuck by his lawyers it’s stated that ex-Twitter engineers still have access to Twitter trade secrets, which doesn’t make much sense for people that haven’t worked there for months. This means that either he is basically lying or Twitter is not able to secure itself because they probably have also fired the people in charge to do so

        IIRC some of the employees who still have company-owned computers, etc have tried numerous times to return them with no response from Twitter. Like you said probably because those people were fired as well.
