Elon Musk’s legal team sends Meta a cease-and-desist order after launch of Threads app

Attorneys for Twitter owner Elon Musk sent Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta a cease-and-desist order Thursday over the company’s launch of rival platform Threads. The letter alleges Meta hired former Twitter employees who improperly retained the app’s trade secrets to aid in developing Threads. Zuckerberg said at least 30 million people have registered for the app since its launch Wednesday.
