Woah crazyyyy, free speech absolutist capitalist seems to hate competition. I wonder why!
Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees
LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?
I'm sure twatter would have a no compete clause if they could. Maybe they can?
IANAL, but from what I understand, you can put anything you want in a contract, but it doesn't mean it's enforceable.
So the reason why companies put in non-compete clauses is mostly because people believe it, not because it's really enforceable.
Now if former twitter employees were still getting severance from Twitter while working at Meta, that could be an issue. But generally speaking, if you're not getting money (consideration) non-compete clauses don't matter much.
In most regions, you're right: you can put a noncompete in a contract, but enforcing it is another matter.
But noncompete clauses are explicitly illegal in California, where Twitter is based.
Most severance is paid in a lump sum.
And if they laid you off or fired you, there’s no way they can enforce a no compete clause.
Noncompetes are basically unenforceable in California, you can make people sign them but they’re about as useful as if they were made out of toilet paper
But wouldn't they be more useful, when made out of toilet paper?
I think that it is also different if you get fired. Don’t know in detail, but I assume that if they fire you without a valid cause they don’t have any grounds to complain that you did a sensitive and unique work.
Though I don't think this will happen
These two need to just fuck and get it over with already
Tshh as if Zuckerbot has a standard plug or socket for human style relations.

Figure it out in the ring
I’m very much looking forward to that fight. Whichever way it goes, we’re going to see one of earth’s biggest douchebags get beat up.

Fuckerberg should just send that Muskrat a poop emoji.
We should just start inciting for them to have a no-holds-bar, hell-in-a-cell, ladder, hardcore cage fight to the death. Then, when its over, we just don't open the cage.
It's ok, it'll take Mark a few hours to unhinge his jaw and swallow Elon's corpse whole. Then he's gunna find a nice warm rock to lay on and digest.
I think we should start putting our money where our mouths are and start eating these people and their businesses

Lmfao. Well, thanks for the free PR, I'm sure, because some poor secretary in his office knows there isn't jack shit they can sue over.
Not that I'm ever going to pretend to like Meta, but having competition is supposed to be the definition of his precious free market. There's even rules and everything about monopolies. Can't take issue with that unless he's ready to declare himself not a capitalist.

let them eat each other out
Thanks for that horrific mental imagery.
I don't think it's your competitors that are the problem, Twitter.
Zuckerberg still wants that match. Decided to step into the social media ring
All this talk of zuck fighting just reminds me of that South Park episode.
You think you can block me?

Lol I hope they fight and burn all the cash
Maybe that was their game with the federation stuff. "Hey we didn't start this, we were just following suit on this open source project". Anyway this logic wouldn't fly in any court, they can't have a copyright on text-based social media. They can only own their branding. Musk is just throwing a hissy fit again
I think Elon is trying to say they're stealing IP because lots of the Twitter employees he fired went to work on Threads. This is probably where the fediverse stuff comes in clutch, as they're just implementing ActivityPub, so it's not like it's industry secrets or anything.

Where is my cage fight?
Eh anyone can threaten to sue. Let me know if he finds a lawyer to file that thinks they have standing. I wonder if mom competes are valid if you get laid off. They are mostly not valid at all in California already.
i know it's (probably) a typo, but the thought of "mom compete" clauses is cracking me up
Lol, I'm leaving it!

Can't they just fist-fight each other and disappoint all of the viewers already?
Sue for what? Such an entitlement. Should ford and GM sue him for competing with their car business?
I demand a match in the Thunderdome.
On the other hand, it would be the most boring match ever...like two wet noodles fighting...
