Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the social media company plans to spend as much as $65 billion this year alone to build on its artificial intelligence efforts.

Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg on Friday said the tech giant plans to invest at least $60 billion in artificial intelligence in 2025, aiming to lead in the technology.

Meta stock gained after Mark Zuckerberg pledged to commit between $60 billion and $65 billion this year to capex.

If you were surprised to see yourself suddenly following President Donald Trump on Instagram and Facebook this week, it’s not because Meta forced you to, the social media company says.

Handing over control of the official presidential and vice presidential social media accounts has become a standard part of the transition process.

Meta said Facebook and Instagram users were not forced to follow Trump but that unfollowing the new White House accounts 'might take some time.'
