Twitter has serious concerns that Meta Platforms has engaged in systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property

Storing 300 characters in a database is really hard. A small company like Meta could never develop that kind of technology.

Did Twitter even have money to pay the lawyers?

I'm not sure that matters to Musk at this point, since he seems to be following the Trump business plan of "Promise richly and then skip out when the bills come due".

Meta will respond with a cease-to-exist request to twitter

Or a letter that says "Come meet me in Italy and square up, lil bitch."

Can't they just settle this with the MMA cage match like they were planning to?

I'm starting to believe that Elon wanted to destroy Twitter from the inside since the start. Lots of walking backwards with that social Network, like everything he touches

He just wants the world to know that he knows as much about social media as he does about cars and rockets.

“I would like to apologize for firing these geniuses. Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere.”

Yeah, this kinda obstruction from the Trump playbook is all they can do. Maybe it's Kremlin ordering Musk to do that. Who knows?
