Becoming Meta: Mark Zuckerberg’s Journey as the Ultimate Influencer

Move over, Kardashians, there’s a new influencer in town – and it’s none other than the billionaire himself, Mark Zuckerberg. Yes, you heard that right! The man behind Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has been using his newfound passion for posting to showcase some of the company’s latest products in a rather unconventional way. In a recent Instagram post that sent waves across social media, Zuckerberg gave us a sneak peek into Meta’s upcoming technology by flaunting their new Ray-Ban AI glasses, which are still in the beta testing phase.

Not one to shy away from the limelight, Zuckerberg used his post not only to display the stylish aesthetics of the glasses but also to demonstrate some of the practical functionalities that could prove to be quite handy for users, especially during vacations. From analyzing historical monuments to answering questions about the natural world, the possibilities seem endless with Meta’s innovative new gadget.

It seems like Zuckerberg has decided to bring Meta’s influencer marketing strategy in-house, and boy, is he doing it with flair! Just last month, the tech mogul delighted his followers with another snapshot of himself donning the Ray-Ban glasses, this time at a McDonald’s in Japan. This isn’t the first time Zuckerberg has leveraged his Instagram presence to promote Meta’s products. In a heartwarming video shared late last year, he utilized Meta’s AI Ray-Bans to assist him in braiding his daughter’s hair, showcasing a more personal side to his tech-savvy image.

But it’s not all fun and games for Zuckerberg. With Apple’s recent foray into the metaverse with their Vision Pro headset, the tech titan has been facing some stiff competition. In a bold move, Zuckerberg posted a video review of Apple’s new mixed-reality headset, ultimately asserting that Meta’s own $500 Quest headset reigns supreme. The gloves are off as Zuckerberg has not hesitated to publicly criticize Apple’s latest offering on various social media platforms and even in closed-door meetings.

As Zuckerberg continues his whirlwind tour of Asia, his social media escapades show no signs of slowing down. In a recent post on Threads, the Meta CEO made his stance clear, stating that if Meta’s Quest doesn’t outshine the Vision Pro in five years, it would signify a significant step backward for the company. With Zuckerberg at the helm, Meta’s influencer game is certainly taking on a whole new dimension, one post at a time. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny the billionaire’s flair for making waves in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
