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.

      I’ve heard Zuck called a lot of names. A LOT of them, most of them well deserved and fitting…but I’ve not heard very many people call him stupid or bad at his job.

      Elon on the other hand…

        The thing is, Zuck doesn’t have a rabid fan base who licks the shit he drops as he walks. Zuck sucks but he keeps to himself and his business most of the time. Elon on the other hand has a huge rabid fanbase who treat him like he’s the messiah reincarnate. Which makes it all the more satisfying when Elon loses over Zuck. Seeing Zuck doing something and failing just makes me shrug and say “He deserved it.” Elon, on the other hand, I REVEL in seeing his stupidity bite him in the ass again and again.

        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.

        People have been ripping on Zuck for the past 4+ years about his investment in the metaverse…
