Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.”

X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.”

Nah copyright is useful for free software. Patents, we could probably live without patents

Trademark is also useful. I don’t want Tyson making fake vegan hot dogs

Free software is response to software copyright and software patents.

Trademark is also useful. I don’t want Tyson making fake vegan hot dogs

It has nothing to do with trademark.
