Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg follows Elon Musk with surprise Clubhouse chat – Mark Zuckerberg the Facebook Ceo has made a surprise appearance on the exclusive audio-only Clubhouse app Thursday night. It comes less than a week after Tesla’s Elon Musk did the same.
Zuckerberg talked about Facebook’s Reality Labs group, noting how virtual reality and augmented reality technology can widen the scope for remote work, as previously reported by Business Insider.
“We should be teleporting, not transporting, ourselves,” he said, according to venture capitalist John Constine.
Like many companies, Facebook shifted towards remote work in a big way in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Last May, Zuckerberg said about half of Facebook’s employees could be working remotely over the next five to 10 years.
In Thursday’s chat, he noted that VR and AR allow people to appear more present than video-chatting app like Zoom.
Elon Musk talks Mars, Neuralink and Dogecoin in surprise Clubhouse interview
Elon Musk, the SpaceX and Tesla head honcho, appeared on the exclusive audio-only Clubhouse app Sunday night, joining the Good Time Show to talk all things Mars, memes, and becoming a multiplanet species. The app, which allows people to create rooms for conversation, didn’t fare too well. The cap on participants is set at 5,000 — and it was quickly overwhelmed as Musk fans clamored to hear the world’s richest man speak.
Still, enterprising YouTubers and Discord servers popped up, and far more than 5,000 people got to hear some surprising claims about Mars and monkeys. In his characteristic fashion, Musk made some bold claims about when people might get to the red planet, discussed his Twitter memes and detailed some of the progress his team at Neuralink has made. It was meandering and, at times, bizarre, but Musk did reveal a few interesting details.
Let’s start with Mars. If you’re wondering what Musk’s timeline to get humans on Mars is, you might be surprised.
“Five and a half years,” Musk told hosts Sriram Krishnan and Aarthi Ramamurthy at the beginning of the show.
