In a surprising turn of events, Twitter has threatened to take legal action against Threads, a newly launched app, just within 24 hours of its release. The social media giant claims that Meta, the company behind Threads, has poached former Twitter employees who possess internal company secrets, enabling them to develop the Threads application.
On the other hand, Meta has vehemently denied the allegations, stating that they have not hired any individuals who were previously employed by Twitter, as suggested.
As many are aware, Elon Musk, after taking over Twitter, initiated a massive layoff, resulting in a significant number of employees seeking employment elsewhere. This situation has fueled speculations and controversies surrounding the relationship between the two tech moguls, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, and Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of Meta.
The issue has gained substantial attention, especially considering the involvement of two individuals listed among the world's wealthiestElon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
Notably, the recently launched Threads app has swiftly amassed over 50 million users within a mere 24-hour period. With such staggering growth, it is not inconceivable that this new application could entice a substantial portion of Twitter's user base to switch to Threads.
