Mark Zuckerberg 'underqualified' to run metaverse: Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend Grimes

Seemingly unimpressed with Mark Zuckerberg's viral metaverse images released last week, Canadian singer-songwriter and Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend Grimes took to Twitter to call the Meta CEO "wildly underqualified" to run metaverse.

Grimes also expressed her disdain over his plans to expand Facebook into a metaverse pioneer. "If Zuck 'oversees the Metaverse' it is dead and people who care about art and culture are building something else. Also this is bad art," Grimes tweeted. "The quality of this image alone speaks to how wildly under qualified he is to build alternate reality, literally every indie game looks better."

Mark Zuckerberg had posted the image mentioned in Grimes's tweet last week. But, the response was not what they had expected. Later, he shared a different version of the avatar.
