Yeah, and you could additionally emphasize the undeserved pretension and self centered-ness of the company: The Facebook.

Meta is to Facebook what Alphabet is to Google. I don't think we have to worry.

Whereas Meta == Facebook + an absurd $$$$$ attempt to convince the public wearing headsets is revolutionary + forget about that whole destroying society thing.

At least the self driving cars might have positive net impact.

+ DeepMind?

Faceboomer?
