Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees

LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?

[–] aeternum@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm sure twatter would have a no compete clause if they could. Maybe they can?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] notatoad@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Stan@lemmywinks.com 14 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] shawnj2@startrek.website 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Jallrich@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

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.

Tshh as if Zuckerbot has a standard plug or socket for human style relations.

[–] VitoCorleone@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He probably has but Elon only uses the Tesla standard plug.

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.

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.

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.

[–] Thetimefarm@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think we should start putting our money where our mouths are and start eating these people and their businesses

Thanks for that horrific mental imagery.

I don't think it's your competitors that are the problem, Twitter.

[–] 0Empty0@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zuckerberg still wants that match. Decided to step into the social media ring

[–] ShlorpianMafia@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] cybirdman@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

Why don't they fight in a Colosseum over it?

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.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

i know it's (probably) a typo, but the thought of "mom compete" clauses is cracking me up

Can't they just fist-fight each other and disappoint all of the viewers already?

I demand a match in the Thunderdome.

On the other hand, it would be the most boring match ever...like two wet noodles fighting...

How preposterous, Human Man Zuckerberg has a completely normal and decidedly regular keratin growth styling!
