Mark Zuckerberg Drops Hints Cloud Wars With Amazon And Microsoft Is 'Definitely On The Table' For Meta— 'We Haven't Done That Yet Because…'

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has suggested that the company might consider stepping into the public cloud computing market if it ends up with excess capacity due to overinvestment in data centers.

Zuckerberg made these comments during Meta’s annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday. He mentioned that the prospect of competing with industry heavyweights like Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Microsoft Inc. (NASDAQ:MSFT) in the cloud computing sector is “definitely on the table”, reported CNBC.

The CEO reiterated thoughts he had shared during an earnings call last year, revealing that many companies approach Meta weekly, seeking API services or inquiring about purchasing compute from them at a premium.

Zuckerberg assured Wall Street that Meta has the ability to lease some of its computing resources. “We haven’t done that yet because we think that we have a use for the compute,” the CEO said. He further added that if Meta finds it has overbuilt, entering the cloud computing market is a viable option.
