There’s just something fucking hilarious about laying off employees, mocking them, and being sued for improperly firing them – and then whining that your competitor hired them and that they have access to Twitter information still.
I believe this fits well under the “fuck around and find out” doctrine.
Idk, the whole meta thing he went all in on was bit of a bad call. But other then that I agree. They definitely won in the VR space and were very smart to go cordless standalone and affordable. Too bad the underlying network is invasive as hell.
Was it though? The Metaverse may have been an unsuccessful venture but it was a pretty successful rebrand. Facebook was getting dragged through the shitter (100% deserved), and while nobody seems to give a shot about meta, you do hear less and less about Facebook from just about everywhere. Zuck somehow managed to distance himself from his cancer of a product without shutting it down in any way shape or form just by changing the name of his company to a dud product.
That’s savvy, even if it wasn’t the profit factory outcome he wanted. By comparison, Elon is speedrunning driving the ONLY real competition Facebook has right into a brick wall.
