$META here’s an excerpt from my conversation with @Matkinvest on META a while back and my thesis on how META would effectively pair AI with glasses/wearables.
Great to see the thesis come to fruition and it’s still only starting…
One point I was somewhat wrong on - I said I wouldn’t download Meta AI vs Gemini/ChatGPT to start over… I downloaded Muse on day one because they DID differentiate themselves enough.
(Technically Meta AI app was separate from Muse so half right 😂)
We are reconnecting in a week or so for a follow up episode. Stay tuned.
Meta VR Glasses were just officially announced. They have micro-OLED displays, weigh 100 grams, and are powered by a tethered puck with Qualcomm's Snapdragon Reality Elite chipset.

$META Canaccord raises PT to $950 citing Muse, glasses, AI subscriptions.
While it’s always great to see proof, @finkd has been explaining this business plan quarter after quarter…
Building out your own individual thought process and perspective is extremely important… waiting for “proof” often means missing out on the initial re-rate.
Read, listen, analyze and establish a thesis. Know what you own and why. Don’t wait for Wall Street to tell you - you give away your edge when you do.
Canaccord raises $META PT to $950, saying Muse’s 2.5M+ downloads in 2 weeks and expanding access through glasses, Mac and a dedicated device strengthen the case for AI monetization via subscriptions and transaction fees.

JPMorgan ranks $META Muse #1 on Assistant Benchmark at 9.3 with perfect scores in purchasing, email, routines and connected apps.
Those are exactly the tasks that turn an assistant into an agent and Muse responds in ~7 seconds versus ~38 seconds for peers.
The scores cluster exactly where money changes hands which is why I still think subs are the easy monetization layer while commerce through $SHOP, $PYPL, $WMT, $CART and Stripe is the much bigger opportunity.
Mark Zuckerberg in 3Q'25 call of $META
"The one opportunity that we usually talk about on these calls but hasn't come up as much here is just the ability to make it so that advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account and have the AI system basically figure out everything else that's necessary, including generating video or different types of creative that might resonate with different people that are personalized in different ways, finding who the right customers are. All of the capabilities that we're building, I think, go towards improving all of these different things. I'm quite optimistic about that."
I am sharing this to report that they have done it! Muse is running ads for me (I have never run any ad ever before this) and all I had to do was give Muse my credit card!
Nuro is out testing & making progress:
New video just dropped of them testing their autonomous AI Driver in California
They are currently partnered with @LucidMotors & @Uber
60 minutes of driving condensed in a 60 sec clip
Best of luck @nuro! I’m rooting for you

1/ The primary bear case against $UBER is summarized in two words: AV disruption.
Investors fear that AVs will crush Uber's ~30% take rate, destroying profitability.
I disagree. In fact, I believe an estimated 20% AV take rate is a massive tailwind.
Here is the math. 🧵
Don't let Cost Basis Anchoring rob you of future returns...
I have multibagged $META several times and continued to add, even throughout this past year, as fundamentals grew and valuation opportunities presented themselves.

@motionaldrive has been flying under the radar, quietly preparing for a driverless launch on Uber in Las Vegas in Q4. I had the chance to spend half a day with the Motional team today, and took a driverless Motional for a spin through Vegas. Flawless ride - can't wait for everyone to experience it soon!
Meta VR Glasses -- private cinema, a workstation with multiple monitors, and a game console in a pair of high-res glasses. Our first time delivering VR in glasses rather than a full headset -- really a glimpse of the future.
$META is really winning AI.
I have had faith in the plan and execution but big picture… after all the “hardware” teases by openAI etc..:
It’s pretty hilarious that $META is actually the leader the market never expected.
