Mark Zuckerberg

You know, finding good short names... I mean, this actually was a thing that we talked about for a while, because it was pretty clear that... Facebook is continuing to grow in importance in the world, which I think a lot of people don't appreciate and is kind of mind-boggling at the scale that it's at.

But the others, I mean, we went through a period where we had Facebook and a handful of small apps. And now we have four apps that have a billion people or more using them, hopefully in the next few years, five with threads, if that continues scaling. And...

This was a conversation that we had a bunch, where it's like, does it make sense for the name of the company to be one of the apps as the other apps, as it's really becoming a family of apps? And it was important to me, this was also coinciding with a lot of a lot of the challenges that we were having, the political brand challenges, different things.

And a lot of people were proposing that from the perspective of running away from the Facebook brand. They were like, oh, well, does the Facebook brand have issues? Do we need a new brand? And I was like, we don't run away from that.

It might make sense one day to not have Facebook be the lead brand for the company because we do so many different things, but I'm only going to do this when we come up with a brand that is going to be evocative of the future that we're trying to build because we run towards something. We don't run away from things. And when we got to Meta, then I was like, all right, we're here.

And it was around the time when we were doubling down on the investment and where there was all the controversy. And it's like, look, if we're doing this, we're going to lean into this and we're going to do it. So let's do it.

Yeah. I get it. But I don't know. We align around a vision and a mission of what we're trying to do, and we run towards it. That's always been how we've operated.

Yeah, no, I mean, we're a company that puts a flag down around what we're doing, and we're going to go do it. It's like, put a wall in front of us, there's going to be a mark-shaped hole in the wall.
