He didn't "fuck up" so much as think he was big enough to bully the legal issue away.

They did it with the word "meta" here's hoping they don't get away with it a second time.

In the case of Meta, they acquired a small company with that name many years before. Makes me wonder if they also bought something called Threads before.
