Writing on Threads, Mr Zuckerberg said: “I think there should be a public conversations app with 1bn+ people on it.

In the letter published on Threads by Semafor, Mr Musk’s lawyer Alex Spiro wrote: “Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights, and demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information.”Ī Meta spokesman said: “No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee - that’s just not a thing.”Įarlier on Thursday Mr Zuckerberg has accused Mr Musk’s Twitter of missing its chance to create a social network with mass appeal as he said his newly-launched rival was aiming for more than a billion users. Twitter has sent a letter to Mr Zuckerberg accusing Meta of hiring “dozens” of former Twitter employees and assigning them to develop its “copycat” Threads app. Elon Musk has threatened to sue Meta as more than 30 million users signed up for Mark Zuckerberg’s rival app Threads.
