Twitter accuses Meta of hiring former staff in cease-and-desist letter

There's just something fucking hilarious about laying off employees, mocking them, and being sued for improperly firing them -- and then whining that your competitor hired them and that they have access to Twitter information still.

I believe this fits well under the "fuck around and find out" doctrine.

He didn't start either PayPal or Tesla, he got fired as PayPal CEO because it wasn't doing so hot and he paid his way into Tesla to be able to call himself founder. He's not the genius. He's the guy who started with money to throw around, did so to make even more money and put his face on the poster and started to drink his own coolaid.

To follow up: he got fired from PayPal before it was named PayPal. Another words: he never worked at PayPal.

Even better, he built a shitty banking website (X.com) that merged with the company that owned PayPal, they kicked him out of the CEO position the same year, and later they claimed to have rewritten everything Musk wrote. They rebranded as PayPal, one of their products, the following year and Musk had nothing to do with it other than sitting on the board because he got super lucky in the dot com bubble.
