Yeah, but since they bothered with the scary letter, and they knew it was a nothingburger, it must mean the real intention is to either throw dirt at meta or create a distraction from something else
It seems to me that ‘any news is good news’ is the X Corp strategy. Approximately once a week, Musk does something dumb that reaches multiple news outlets. Approximately once a month, that dumb thing manages to surprise me (and, apparently, the press).

i’m half way through reading only but this is such a cool resource, thanks for sharing. strongly recommend actually reading it, for anyone lurking.

Great read thank you. Seems Twitter just blowing smoke.
Ah, ok. So it’s basically the legal equivalent of Macho Man’s cream of the crop promo? Got it
Good article. Knew the threat is bullshit but the author puts it in context.
So in legalese, it basically says “we are scared but not sure why. GRR!”
Yep. It also has phrases to convince laypeople otherwise. This letter wasn’t written for the client. It was written for the news.
Yep, it’s to keep Twitter relevant and try to smear Threads as a competitor.
