Since the beginning of 2022, the Mark Zuckerberg division in the metavselnaya has lost more than 21 billion dollars.
Founder and CEO of META Mark Zuckerberg assured that in the near future the company will remain a committed metavselnaya.
“Investments in artificial intelligence are ongoing, but we are still completely committed to the vision of the metavselnaya. We have been working on two main priorities in parallel for many years, since these areas intersect and complement each other,” Tsuckerberg said,
Orientation on the metavselnaya did not bring the profit of META, which continues to lose billions of dollars in this direction. According to the results of 2022, Meta Facebook Reality Labs received a loss of $ 13.7 billion and an income of $ 2.2 billion. For comparison, data for 2021 are given: a loss of $ 10.2 billion and income of $ 2.3 billion.
“Metavselnaya is an ambitious expensive horizon. There are many components in the Reality Labs portfolio, including VR, AR, Metaverse, social platforms, neural interfaces. We have a long -term temporary horizon for evaluating the payback of our investments,” Zuckerberg explained.
According to the results of the second quarter of 2023, Meta reported a net profit of $ 7.79 billion compared to $ 6.7 billion in 2022, and the revenue increased by 11 percent to $ 32 billion.
