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

    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

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