A week back, a thread was posted by @balleralert on the app, which highlighted the alleged civil dispute over intellectual property violations by Meta. Musk claimed that Twitter’s trade secrets were leaked to Zuckerberg’s company, further claiming they make a Twitter-like app called Threads. Commenting on the scene, Owens took it to Threads and wrote, “Yeah I definitely figured that was coming.”

Musk has recently escalated the situation by asking his attorney to write a letter to Meta CEO Zuckerberg. In a direct message on behalf of X. Corp., Alex Spiro criticized Meta for releasing its app “Threads.” The lawyer further conjectured that Meta used “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation” of Twitter’s confidential data. It was also mentioned that a few ex-employees exchanged Twitter’s trade secrets earlier this year during their massive layoff.

According to Arstechnica, it is claimed that the staff still owes answers to Twitter as documents and electronic devices were not rightfully handed over. Spiro complained that-“Meta has hired dozens of former Twitter employees over the past year.” While Twitter is being sued for unpaid wages and incentives by former employees, it appears the CEO is squabbling over how similar the two apps are. There is no formal response from Zuckerberg yet. As techies engage in a fight over the Thread, Instagram users are joining the hype created by the trend.
