It's unfortunate that Zuckerberg, like Musk, is too wealthy to ever suffer from his own incompetence. He's doing all the right things to cripple or destroy his company. He may even succeed. It just won't affect him personally.
That level of wealth should not be allowed to exist.
Meta exploits its user-base for data and meta-data. If they have fewer people to do that job and believe AI can replace the people to do the job ... good.

"But you see, chopping the bottom 10% isn't the same as chopping the bottom 5%."
"But you see, chopping the bottom 1% every month of the year isn't the same as chopping the bottom 5% in a single action"
"But you see, chainsawing the bottom 5% isn't the same as chopping the bottom 5%"
One month old joke not being extreme enough.
