META PREPARES TO CUT 8,000 EMPLOYEES IN AGGRESSIVE PIVOT TO APPLIED AI
Meta is reportedly slashing approximately 10% of its global workforce on May 20, impacting nearly 8,000 employees.
This mass reduction coincides with the strategic reallocation of at least 1,000 elite engineers into a newly formed Applied AI Engineering unit.
META MAY BE THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD MEGACAP.
- Has been growing 33% on advertising. AI is accelerating the ad stack. And the street keeps selling it off.
- Amazon, Google, Microsoft sell their compute. Meta uses it all in house. That's why the street gets nervous.
- Daily active people ticked down 20M. Russia banned WhatsApp. Iran is at war. Without those Meta was up.

Instead of disappearing, the team started over and built @Aptos .
