Photos of a sculpture of Mother Mary and baby Jesus from the Los Angeles Museum of Art has gone viral after people noticed the similarities between the infant's face and that of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The resemblance is so striking that even Twitter founder Jack Dorsey used it to take a dig at him.
The visuals were first shared by Twitter user and product designer Arix (@Arix_Ki). "This baby Jesus sculpture at LA Museum of Art looks like Mark Zuckerberg," he tweeted.
Social media users, including Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, were amused with the striking resemblance between the piece of art and Mark Zuckerberg.
Dorsey retweeted the photos with a single cryptic word--"Meta".
Many have been reading Dorsey's tweet as an attempt of mocking Zuckerberg with his brainchild--the metaverse where people use virtual-reality and augmented-reality instruments to enter a virtual space.

The Twitter founder had earlier gone on record and made fun of the "metaverse". He had even said that he found the idea dystopian.
Last year, a Twitter user wrote about Zuckerberg's metaverse ambitions and said that the term was first coined by science-fiction writer Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel "Snow Crash." "It originally described a virtual world owned by corporations where end users were treated as citizens in a dystopian corporate dictatorship," udiverse (@udiWertheimer) wrote. "What if Neal was right?"
To this, Dorsey responded, "He was."
