Facebook battled Twitter, ‘coffee’ Apple: When Mark Zuckerberg was ‘hot eyes’ with both Elon Musk and Tim Cook

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports that Facebook is planning to release a new platform through Instagram to compete with Twitter.

The project is called “Project 92” and is being actively promoted as Meta, the parent company of Facebook, tries to negotiate with many celebrities like Oprah Winfrey or the Dalai Lama for their use and promotion for this new social network.

The WSJ source said during an internal meeting, Meta’s product manager Chris Cox said the group is trying to launch the new platform as quickly as possible when the US election season approaches. At this point, politically familiar social networks like Twitter often attract large numbers of users.

In 2020, Former US President Donald Trump also won the election in part thanks to social media effects and even became the most popular person on Twitter, while also attracting fame to the platform.

While Mark Zuckerberg took advantage of wanting to divide a part of Twitter’s market in the context of Elon Musk’s empire facing many fluctuations, the Facebook boss also did not forget to “cheat” Apple after the apple family entered the space segment. virtual.

At Meta’s internal meeting, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro virtual reality headset does not bring new solutions to the areas of technology that Meta has been developing.

Specifically, this CEO emphasized that Apple used a higher resolution screen for the Vision Pro, making the product price 7 times higher than the virtual reality glasses of the Meta family. In addition, Apple products also use an external battery pack for the product instead of being more carefully designed like Quest 3 of Meta. Then the virtual universe that Apple set up is not as much as what Facebook has invested in building.

“ Their (Apple) launch shows the importance of our values ​​and vision in this area. We will continue to innovate to make sure the product is accessible and affordable to as many people as possible ,” Mark Zuckerberg said during the meeting.

Mark Zuckerberg’s words come just a week after Meta announced the Quest 3 virtual reality headset. As expected, Meta will sell this product with a starting price of only $499.
