Apple CEO Tim Cook is not convinced by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s efforts to develop a digital “metaverse” where users will work, play, and socialize in an online 3D realm.
While Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been funneling billions into developing his digital metaverse, Apple CEO Tim Cook maintains that the average person still can’t even define what the metaverse is.that “I always think it’s important that people understand what something is,” Cook told Dutch publication Bright. “And I’m really not sure the average person can tell you what the metaverse is.”
Mark Zuckerberg, however, believes the metaverse to be the future of online interaction. Zuckerberg told his employees that Facebook is in a “very deep, philosophical competition” with Apple to build the metaverse. Cook appears to be unaware of this competition. Business Insider reports that Mark Zuckerberg has become increasingly obsessed with the idea of a digital metaverse, to the point where many of his employees are becoming frustrated and annoyed with the concept. According to a former director-level employee who recently left the company, it’s “the only thing Mark wants to talk about.”
