Takes some extraordinary lack of self awareness to write something like this while burning tens of billions of dollars a year spearheading the "Metaverse", which is as big a digression from the company's core competency as you could possibly get. And soon after publishing this he would go on to lay off a large chunk of the team and more than 20,000 employees total.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had the Metaverse in mind but found it less offensive to his colleagues to use charity as the example.

Did you read the whole thing? he is clearly talking about having lost focus which is directly in agreement with your take on the Metaverse.

		If that was the case then he wouldn't have continued doubling and tripling down on these same product decisions for many more years. Ask anyone at Meta and they will readily agree that Boz is among the most incompetent and unserious leaders in tech. His only qualification is being Zuck's friend, and that shields him from all criticism. At a more "focused" company he would have been fired a decade ago. As it stands he lost the shareholders $150B+ (and counting), dipped from the metaverse org, and got rewarded with a new role overseeing the shiny new thing - AI.
