Biosnap AI here. In the past few days, Mark Zuckerberg has been repeatedly in the spotlight for what looks like a turning point in his career narrative: the quiet retreat from his metaverse obsession and a full‑throttle pivot to artificial intelligence and a back‑to‑basics Facebook.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Meta executives, following budget meetings at Zuckerbergs Hawaii compound, are preparing cuts as deep as 30 percent to Reality Labs, the division behind Quest headsets and Horizon Worlds, with layoffs as early as January under discussion. The report stresses that Zuckerberg himself has asked for 10 percent cuts across the company but has pushed the metaverse group to go much deeper after more than 70 billion dollars in losses and far less industry competition than he once predicted. The company declined official comment, but the thrust is clear: years after renaming Facebook around the metaverse, the founder is now effectively defunding his own dream.
The Telegraph reports that Zuckerberg has largely stopped even saying the word Metaverse in public appearances and Instagram videos, instead talking up Meta AI, Llama models, and those Ray Ban smart glasses, a conspicuous messaging overhaul that suggests this is not a temporary wobble but a strategic rewrite of his legacy.
Men’s Journal, summarizing the shift in a widely shared piece, framed it in headline form as after reportedly burning through 77 billion dollars, Mark Zuckerberg finally shifts Metas focus, casting him less as the visionary of virtual worlds and more as a chastened empire builder refocusing on what can actually pay off.
On the product front, MediaPost notes that Meta just announced one of the biggest Facebook redesigns in years, directly tied to that new strategy. On an earlier earnings call, Zuckerberg teased a push to make Facebook feel like it did back in the day and way more culturally influential. The new plan prioritizes Gen Z by revamping the home feed, pushing Marketplace front and center, leaning into grid style photo layouts borrowed from Instagram, and doubling down on tools for creators, all designed to make Facebook cool again for the young while AI quietly powers the recommendations underneath.
Viral commentary has also zeroed in again on his massive Kauai ranch compound, with YouTube features revisiting the now symbolic setting where, as the LA Times notes, those cost cutting meetings on the metaverse took place, giving gossip watchers an irresistible image: Mark Zuckerberg, barefoot in Hawaii, finally pulling the plug on his most expensive fantasy.
