Meta Reportedly Cuts 1500 People In Reality Labs Division

Stocktwits

Meta Platforms

-3.28%

Meta Platforms Inc. (META) has reportedly laid off about 10% of its staff, or 1,500 people, from the Reality Labs division.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal that cited a person familiar with the matter, the layoffs include those working on metaverse.

A Meta spokesman told WSJ that the move was in line with the company’s strategy to shift some of its investment from metaverse toward wearables.

Shares of META were down 2.4% on Wednesday at the time of writing.

Meta’s Pivot To Wearables

An earlier report from The New York Times had reported the potential job cuts and touted that the decision would be announced by Tuesday.

Meta’s chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth, leading the Reality Labs division, had reportedly called for a meeting on Wednesday and even urged staff to attend in person, adding that it would be the “most important” meeting of the year.

The news comes as Meta announced a new top-level initiative, Meta Compute, to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure. Earlier this week, the tech giant also appointed Dina Powell McCormick as its new President and Vice Chairman, in a move to bolster its AI initiatives.

The pivot from its focus on V.R.-based social networking to artificial intelligence comes as Meta’s peers like OpenAI and Google have zoomed past the company in terms of AI initiatives. Reality Labs, which works on metaverse and other AR/VR initiatives, was once at the center of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s priorities. However, since 2021, the division has reportedly accumulated losses of over $70 billion.

Meanwhile, Meta’s wearables division has been gaining footing in the market. Its AI-equipped Ray-Ban smartglasses have reportedly sold over 2 million pairs since its launch. In 2025, Meta announced an investment of $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 to build AI data centers.

How Did Stocktwits Users React?

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around META stock jumped to ‘bullish’ from ‘bearish’ territory over the past 24 hours amid ‘high’ message volumes. The stock was also among the top trending on Stocktwits at the time of writing.

One user called Reality Labs ‘a failed investment.’

Shares of META have gained about 3.7% in the past year.

Tesla Bear Says New FSD Subscription Model Proves The Tech Is Not An Asset: Retail Echoes Concerns

Stocktwits

Tesla

-3.78%

Tesla Inc (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday announced that the EV giant would stop selling its full self-driving driver assistance technology for a one-time charge and will make it available solely on a subscription basis instead. The move has raised concerns among Wall Street analysts and fund managers.

Musk announced in a post on X that the change will kickstart on Feb. 14. Currently, Tesla allows its EV owners to purchase FSD (Supervised) for a one-time payment of $8,000 or a subscription of $99 per month in the U.S.

Experts Weigh In

GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson and renowned Tesla bear said that the automaker moving its full self-driving to a subscription model ends the "FSD is an appreciating asset" thesis.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk in 2019 floated the idea that paying $8,000 for FSD would soon be something worth north of $100,000 once the car became a robotaxi, but that "story now looks retired," the analyst told investors in a research note, as per TheFly.

GLJ says the subscription-only FSD is an admission that the service is not an asset, despite "many on Wall Street assigning it hundreds of billions of dollars of value as if it were proprietary intellectual property with terminal economics." The firm has a ‘Sell’ rating on Tesla.

Ross Gerber, President and CEO at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, said that the pricing decision is the “first step to tesla giving away the software as it becomes standard on vehicles over the next five years.”

“Sadly the technology edge tesla used to have is fading as shown by these pricing decisions,” Gerber said in a post on X.https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/2011434618315239861?s=20

Musk’s Wednesday announcement comes amidst low takers for the technology. In October, the company said that the total paid FSD customer base is still small at around 12% of its fleet.

TSLA shares traded 3% lower at the time of writing.

How Did Stocktwits Users React?

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around TSLA stock stayed within the ‘bearish’ territory over the past 24 hours, while message volume stayed at ‘normal’ levels.

A Stocktwits user opined that the company now needs to cut FSD subscription costs down to $50/month to increase takers.

Another highlighted that the technology doesn’t allow for fully autonomous driving yet.

https://www.stocktwits.com/Ronald_Gaygan/message/641789152

TSLA stock has gained 10% over the past 12 months.
