Doesn’t have to be a mistake. Twitter knows that people who used to work for Twitter now work for Meta. Seems perfectly fine to me.

  Maybe, but in that case the writer should just state it as a fact rather that saying that their client knows something. Whether Twitter knows that employees previously worked for Twitter (etc.) should not have any bearing on Meta’s liability; whether Meta knew this or not absolutely has an impact on liability. The fact that the next sentence refers to Meta’s knowledge of the the facts in the preceding sentence seems to justify my reading.

  The next sentence is “With that knowledge, Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat Threads app.” This sentence doesn’t follow logically unless it was Meta who had the knowledge in the previous sentence.

    I think it's supposed to be saying "With that knowledge, [we are claiming that] Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat Threads app." I wouldn't be surprised if Elon insisted on more aggressive language and it was hastily edited.

  Meta purposely had ex-Twitter employees that it hire not work on Threads.
