Meta<\/a> CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> said that more than 10 million people in the U.S. and Canada have set up Muse<\/a> accounts in a month and a half and growth remained strong, but the company\u2019s stock had a rough start Thursday in response as costly legal challenges mount.<\/p>\n The company reported third-quarter earnings late Wednesday, with better than expected revenue at US$64.60 billion, ahead of Wall Street estimates of $63.37 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Meta also projected fourth quarter revenue between $73 billion and $76 billion, above estimates of $73.73 billion.<\/p>\n After the results were released, Zuckerberg said on a conference call he expected Muse would eventually serve \u201cbillions of people\u201d who would potentially generate more revenue than the average Meta user, forecasting the venture would give rise to the kind of network effect that helped build his social media empire.<\/p>\n \u201cPart of the reason why we\u2019re not just charging everyone up front to use this is we want to establish this Muse network, and we think that it\u2019s going to be more valuable for people at scale when there are a lot of people and businesses using Muse,\u201d said Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n In their financial report, Meta said they \u201cremain focused on improving Reality Labs profitability\u201d and forecast its losses would narrow next year to around $15 billion \u201cas we reallocate investment toward other priority areas, primarily AI.\u201d<\/p>\n The early popularity of Muse and the release of a competitive new series of AI models have helped Meta justify its spending to investors, even though some enterprises are restricting the agent\u2019s access over security concerns.<\/p>\n Get daily Canada news delivered to your inbox so you’ll never miss the day’s top stories.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u201cThe market has shifted from punishing Meta for spending to rewarding it for having a compelling product story,\u201d said Jesse Cohen, senior analyst at Investing.com.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\tRelated Videos<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/d21y75miwcfqoq.cloudfront.net\/70c8fc80\")
