The metaverse is just marketing jargon.

The metaverse, also known as Web 3, is a marketing buzzword according to Musk.

He shared a video of David Letterman talking about Bill Gates and the internet. The creator of the video compared the internet to the metaverse. "What will the future be, given the almost unimaginable nature of the present?" Musk asked.

The chief of the electric car company said that he was not suggesting that web3 is real, but that he was wondering what the future would be like. 2051 is crazy futuristic!

The metaverse is a vague term that references the future of the internet. People can play games, socialize, work, attend events, and more in a virtual world. The next phase of the internet is seen by many as a way to get away from the control of tech giants. Meta is charging into Web3.

The metaverse is gaining traction on Wall Street. Sand and Decentraland have surged this year, beating the gains of other cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, according to Macro Hive.
