“Meta acquires Moltbook.” Zuckerberg really does buy anything that can be bought with money. What surprised me the moment I saw the news was that Meta didn't make a copycat of Moltbook — it acquired Moltbook itself. Do they think that would be cheaper?

I'm seeing a lot of disbelief of Meta's purchase of @moltbook. Several “WTF” posts from people here. Let me tell you about how Zuckerberg looks at the world. He has an advertising network that drives all of Meta's revenues and profits. Advertising needs one thing to be highly

I thought this was a joke, but then Meta really does need the traffic to learn how to monetize ads for agents. Reminds me a bit of the Onavo acquisition in 2013 when FB essentially purchased mobile intel to build out their mobile ad products.

If you don't understand why Zuck had to get moltbook 1) Zuck believes there are “a finite number of different social mechanics to invent. Once someone wins at a specific mechanic, it's difficult for others to supplant them without doing something different” 2) moltbook, he [image…

zuck seems less like a visionary & more an extremely aggressive adapter who controls enough equity & has enough cash flow to act on adaptations instantly. that's a different & maybe rarer (maybe even more admirable) thing than being right.
