One Twitter staffer even admitted that Threads was “just better,” according to the daily beast, adding: ‘I’m going to get fired for this, but I work at Twitter right now and I’ve never really used it. Here is a new world!
Another user praised the ease of the Threads registration process, posting: ‘[Not gonna lie] the check-in flow was very nice.’

In a letter posted Thursday, Twitter attorney Alex Spriro wrote: “Twitter has serious concerns that Meta Platforms (Meta) has engaged in the systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter trade secrets and other intellectual property.
“Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights and demands that Meta take immediate action to stop using Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information.”
In a tweet referencing the letter, Musk later added: “Competition is okay, cheating is not.”

He wrote: “Nobody on the Threads engineering team is an ex-Twitter employee, that’s just not a problem.”
