Incredibly stupid on the face of it. Considering a good many talented engineers suffer with imposter syndrome and perhaps self-esteem issues (the past two years has not been easy on many of us), this will not only have your poor performers flying out the door, but a lot of your engineering talent as well (who a lot of companies will make a 'hiring exception' for).
Any sort of doom casting / or "rally or else" action from a CEO is never going to play out well. You will just spook folks at all levels of performance and degrade morale.
I can't honestly say I will grieve a world without meta though, they played a good part in degrading democracy in my country. I would not swap my life with a Zuckerberg / Musk for any amount of money.
