Meta’s stock jumped over 10%, hitting $47.5 billion revenue, thanks to Zuckerberg’s colossal AI hiring spree.

CFO Susan Li reports AI-driven ads are already boosting conversions by up to 5%, proving AI actually earns Meta money, unlike the ghost town metaverse. Zuckerberg confidently told investors his ā€˜cash cannon is fully pointed’ at superintelligence, promising to 'push the next frontier in a year or so,' while Wall Street applauds the chaos.
