Zuck got luck with Facebook, plain and simple. When he was in college and still (at least sort of) a human being, he had an idea for something his fellow human beings would like, and he executed very well on that idea.
But to make "the next Facebook" you need both good execution and an idea for something people actually want. Zuck has proven that he has neither: either he got lucky the first time, or Facebook's sucess made him soft.
Either way, no one wants the metaverse ... with our current level of technology at least. Zuck's complete detachment from humanity/reality made him fail to see that.
As for execution, Zuck could have (literally) financed hundreds of start-ups with the money he spent metarversing. If he'd started a VC firm and just funded anyone who came through with an even vaguely VR-related idea, he probably still would have gotten a better return on his investment vs. what he got for the money he spent on his metaverse.
