The metaverse will happen, IMO. The tech is just not there, yet.
Even if it turns out to be wasted money, which I doubt, he's still sitting on almost 2 trillion. Not an L on my book.

This seems possible, and it just sounds so awful to me. Think about the changes to the human condition that arose from the smartphone.
People at concerts and other events scrolling phones, parents missing their children growing up while scrolling their phones. Me, "watching" a movie, scrolling my phone.
VR/AR makes all that sound like a walk in the park.
If it does come, it will likely come from the gaming industry, building upon the ideas of former mmorpgs and "social" games like Pokemon Go. But recent string of AAA disasters should obviously tell you that building a good game is often orthogonal to the amount of funding or technical engineering. It's creativity, and artistic passion, and that's something that someone who spends their entire life in the real world optimizing their TC for is going to find hard to understand.
It's this number: 2,000,000,000,000.
