, who is all in on the metaverse, but most other big tech and social media leaders are not so hyped. In fact most of them are extremely unenthusiastic.conference Wednesday, several executives weighed in on what the metaverse is, with very few having kind words for the startup.

And I’m really not sure the average person can tell you what the metaverse is.” The metaverse seems to be a moving target for Mark Zuckerberg and Satya Nadella. It was at first the future of the internet, then it was a video game, or perhaps a simply bad version of Zoom. There is no clear definition of what Meta's huge metaverse project is in reality.
