Mark Zuckerberg confirms that the Metaverse is dead

Mark Zuckerberg presented the Metaverse just over four years ago as the vision of the future for technology and communications, while rebranding Facebook as Meta. This transformation was accompanied by a multimillion-dollar investment aimed at creating a virtual space where users could socialize, work, and have fun. However, reality has proven to be very different, as the central platform of the Metaverse, Horizon Worlds, only reached a modest 200,000 active users, a figure considered insufficient given the magnitude of the investment.

Mark Zuckerberg presented the Metaverse just over four years ago as the vision of the future for technology and communications, while rebranding Facebook as Meta. This transformation was accompanied by a multimillion-dollar investment aimed at creating a virtual space where users could socialize, work, and have fun. However, reality has proven to be very different, as the central platform of the Metaverse, Horizon Worlds, only reached a modest 200,000 active users, a figure considered insufficient given the magnitude of the investment.

An idea that was sold to us as inevitable

In a significant turn, Meta announced that Horizon Worlds will officially close on June 15, 2026. Users will no longer be able to build worlds in virtual reality or access the platform through VR devices, marking a clear failure in Zuckerberg’s ambitious vision. More than $80 billion in losses have accumulated since 2020 in the Reality Labs division, which is responsible for the Metaverse and virtual reality, raising concerns about the future viability of the project.

As of March 31, 2026, the most iconic spaces of Horizon Worlds, such as Horizon Central and Events Arena, will disappear. The only option that will remain will be a mobile version of the platform, which will resemble more of a three-dimensional social network than the immersive experience that was initially promised. The situation has led many to wonder if this is the definitive end of Meta’s aspirations in the Metaverse and whether the company will be able to regain its footing in the face of such significant losses.

This outcome is a reminder that, while technology advances by leaps and bounds, public acceptance plays a crucial role in the success of new platforms and visions. As the closure of Horizon Worlds approaches, the future of Meta’s Metaverse seems to be at a crossroads.

Jeremy Strong is convinced that his Zuckerberg will be completely different from Jesse Eisenberg's

The long-awaited sequel to ‘The Social Network’ has been announced, titled ‘The Social Reckoning’, and it will premiere on October 9, 2026. Directed by Aaron Sorkin, known for his mastery in script and narrative, this new installment promises to explore the impact of Facebook two decades after its creation.

The long-awaited sequel to ‘The Social Network’ has been announced, titled ‘The Social Reckoning’, and it will be released on October 9, 2026. Directed by Aaron Sorkin, known for his mastery in screenwriting and storytelling, this new installment promises to explore the impact of Facebook two decades after its creation.

A completely different approach

Jeremy Strong, known for his role in ‘Succession’, will take on the role of Mark Zuckerberg, replacing Jesse Eisenberg, who portrayed the controversial founder of Facebook in the original film. Despite taking on this significant role, Strong has stated that he has not had conversations with Eisenberg and that his interpretation of the character will take a different direction, which may raise expectations for a more nuanced Zuckerberg in this new cinematic vision.

The plot of ‘The Social Reckoning’ will focus on the tensions and ethical dilemmas that have arisen over the years surrounding the social platform. The story will follow a Facebook engineer, played by Mikey Madison, who teams up with a Wall Street Journal journalist, Jeremy Allen White, to uncover the company’s dark secrets. This focus on the hidden truth behind the popular platform is relevant at a time when privacy and ethics in social media are crucial topics of discussion in our society.

Strong has praised Sorkin, describing him as one of the best writers and directors he has worked with, stating that the script for this sequel is one of the most outstanding he has had the opportunity to read. With Sorkin’s direction and a rising cast, the anticipation for ‘The Social Reckoning’ continues to grow among film fans and critics.

Nvidia has a problem with imitations and it is not due to its graphics cards

In recent times, the leather jacket of Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, has become a cult phenomenon within tech culture. Known for its distinctive style, this garment has been the subject of imitations that are offered in various online stores under the appealing title of ‘Jensen Huang’s black leather jacket.’ What many do not know is that these jackets are nothing more than imitations sold at prices around 100 dollars. A jacket for which the average person has to mortgage themselves. These stores operate under a model […]

In recent times, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s leather jacket has become a cult phenomenon within tech culture. Known for its distinctive style, this garment has been the subject of imitations that are offered in various online stores under the appealing title of ‘Jensen Huang’s black leather jacket’. What many do not know is that these jackets are nothing more than imitations sold at prices around 100 dollars.

A jacket for which the average person has to mortgage themselves

These stores operate under a dropshipping model, meaning they buy products in Asia at a very low cost and resell them without having their own inventory. This model has become popular in e-commerce, taking advantage of the trend of Huang’s jacket to attract unsuspecting buyers. Authentic jackets, on the other hand, are from the Tom Ford brand and can cost up to $10,000, which represents a galaxy of difference from the counterfeits.

Additionally, some observers have noted that the prices of Huang’s jacket have experienced fluctuations that seem to correlate with the performance of Nvidia’s stock. For example, during CES, the price of the jacket was $8,990 when the stock was at $149.43, while at later events, the price of the garment dropped to $6,990 along with a decline in stock prices. This curious phenomenon has led some to speculate about a possible relationship between the two variables.

Jensen Huang’s leather jacket has reached iconic tech status, similar to Steve Jobs’ turtleneck or Mark Zuckerberg’s jeans. Its popularity has led to a proliferation of online stores trying to capitalize on its fame, although many of them do not offer genuine products and merely take advantage of the trend of the moment. Meanwhile, his company has more than a few problems.

Mark Zuckerberg has built a $100 million bunker just in case

An underground mansion, a luxury bunker that seems taken out of the fantasies of a cartoon millionaire or ‘Bioshock.’ And we all know how well ‘Bioshock’ ends.

Imagine that you have, give or take, a million dollars, all the money in the world. What would you do with it? If your answer is “Enjoy it”, you don’t have the shark mindset that Mark Zuckerberg, the owner of Meta (formerly known as Facebook and Instagram), has. He has built an underground mansion, a luxury bunker that seems to be taken from the fantasies of a millionaire cartoon or ‘Bioshock’. And we all know how ‘Bioshock’ ends.

Zuck at the bunker

And where is he setting it up? Well, where else: in Kauai, the Hawaiian island where he lives and where he owns 566 hectares of land with two mansions, a gym with a pool and tennis courts included, and of course, a bunker. Let’s see which good house doesn’t have one nowadays, it’s a trend. This one will be connected to the mansions by a tunnel accessed through a gigantic metal and cement door, just in case a new world war starts. The usual.

Underground, the boy will have elevators, soundproof walls, his own water tanks, and secret entrances. You can’t say anything negative about Zuckerberg -not about capitalism- because, frankly, it sounds very -very- fun. That’s right. In general, the entire complex will cost him 270 million dollars (or, as he calls it, “pocket change”) and the only thing he has asked employees working there is absolute silence and signing NDAs so that no one knows exactly what is inside.

If I were David Fincher, I would already be taking notes for ‘The Social Network 2’, because, although his family is delighted and already considers the Koolau Ranch (that’s its name) as their home, the truth is that it is a megalomaniac move by the book. For now, Zuck has already had some meetings there and will have an easy time not running into anyone if he gets angry, because he will have about 30 rooms with their respective 30 bathrooms. Those are the people who will never have to go on Idealista to find a roommate. Ay.

Musk vs. Zuckerberg: The Feud Takes an Unexpected Turn Towards Constructive Debate

Elon Musk is trying to wriggle out of the fight with Mark Zuckerberg after seeing that the Meta founder has time on his hands (and plenty of trainers) to prepare to beat him to his heart’s content.

It’s the boxing match that slipped away from Ibai, the fratricidal battle nobody asked for, the duel between two tech magnates that could end with one of the world’s richest individuals kissing the canvas after a solid uppercut from their opponent. Well, at least it is in our imagination, because in real life, it seems Elon Musk is trying to wriggle out of the fight with Mark Zuckerberg after realizing that the Meta founder has some free time (and enough trainers) to prepare thoroughly and deliver a beating.

A musktio combat

After boldly stating that Twitter (well, X, but you get the idea) would broadcast the match, he started complaining about neck discomfort. In fact, he mentioned that he might need surgery, so darn it, they would have to postpone the fight. Oh, what a shame, I was so looking forward to it and now I can’t, darn it, cursed neck, ahem.

The next escape valve for his millionaire bluster has been found in the form of Chris Anderson, the director of TED (yes, the ones who organize the famous TED Talks), who suggested that instead of a fight, the showdown between the two should be a debate. Of course, in a ring, throwing words instead of punches. The topic: ‘How to Build an Amazing Future.’ If I can choose, I’d prefer to see Musk‘s bloody face on the ground, honestly.

But the founder of SpaceX and current CEO of Twitter has confirmed that a debate “also seems like a good idea. This is really fighting like (I believe) a noble sport. We also hope, with humility, to express our admiration for those who have fought before for noble causes.” A lot of talk for very little action, huh?

Will we see the debate between these two soon, or will we have to wait for the next Event of the Year? Will they really resist the urge to throw punches and sit down to discuss in a debate? For now, everything remains up in the air. And Zuck is quite muscular, by the way. It all influences.
