Threads kicks off with 50 million users in one day, annoys Elon enough to sue them already

Meta's Threads app already has over 95 million posts, generated by over 50 million users in the first 24 and a bit hours. It's the most popular free app in the iOS App Store right now (2 is MyGov, 3 is Temu). Not bad for what is essentially a beta, but also kinda low considering the 1b+ users of Meta's products and considering you can't use it on the web and if you want to delete your Threads account you gotta nuke your Instagram account too. It's enough however, to piss off Elon Musk and that's what really matters. He's got his fancy lawyer to send a sad pathetic letter to Meta, claiming they've "engaged in systemic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property" by employing "dozens" of former Twitter employees. Employees Elon fired mercilessly are now working against him to make a better version of the dog shit Elon's turned Twitter into. Mmmmm, delicious irony against the person that deserves it the most.
