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.

Ok so it’s more a smear media move than a serious accusation?

Elmo demanded his lawyer send a scary sounding letter to the press.
An actual lawyer reveals it’s a big nothingburger.

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).

The audience for this sort of letter is not the other side, still less the court, but the client itself – and perhaps the public and media.
Yep, it’s to keep Twitter relevant and try to smear Threads as a competitor.

Good article. Knew the threat is bullshit but the author puts it in context.

Ah, ok. So it’s basically the legal equivalent of Macho Man’s cream of the crop promo? Got it
