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.
Did they really get away with it? It seems like they shot themselves in the foot with pointless rebranding and their sad attempts at whatever the metaverse is. In the end they lost a ton of money

In every other sense? Fuck no.
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.
