This guy wants to be Elon Musk so bad

He has billions and billions of more physical cash than Elon Musk why would he want to be Elon Musk ?

Mark's money is more tangible. Elon Musk, like Jeff Bezo's is based off stock, but if they start selling their stock to make that money then the stock $ goes down and its a trickle effect (their networth tanks almost immediately if they sold even a fraction of their stock). They cant touch none of that money thats advertised as they net worth basically (still very rich though). But Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg have more CASH than them. Like they can walk in a bank and take a lot of their money out, the stock market is just cherry on top to them.

MySpace didn’t have old folks on it though


Facebook isn’t going anywhere. It’ll still be Facebook.com and all y’all ratchet cousins and old relatives will be on there
I prefer FB to the other platforms myself honestly.

Snap and IG seems more catered to kids with short attention spans.

The world is bigger than America. Africa and South America use Facebook and its products heavily. And that’s ignoring Instagram
Yeah but Facebook is also now competing with those countries.

They can’t buy Tiktok cause China won’t allow it. So unless Meta gets innovating or buying the company that does innovate, it’s blood in the water

Yes it did, at one point everybody‘s aunt and etc got on there.

It became less “cool”.

Once Facebook opened up its doors to everyone and didn’t require a .edu that’s where all the youth went.

We can agree to disagree, but old folks did get on MySpace before the tail end of it, but not to the same degree as they are on social media today. They were a bit more “tame” compared to the old folks on Facebook now.

So the URL will change to ‘meta.com’ or it’s just the business side? I didn’t read the article. Whatever the case, Facebook was clutch when it was released. You had to have a college e-mail and if you hit 1,000 friends, you were the shyt.

Weve seen tik tok before. It was Vine, then Tumblr (yes i know tumblr was out before but popularity timeline wise im talking) and of course snapchat. Once this current wave of teenagers grow up more in 2-3 years, tik tok will fall off a cliff.

That’s all true. But what was the last original or popular idea that came out of Facebook/Meta?

They bought Instagram and WhatsApp.

Facebook Dating isn’t moving the needle. PokémonGo was the introduction of AR for most people.
