Better Metaverse Stock: Meta Platforms vs. Microsoft

Tech giants like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) have recently made some aggressive moves to secure their position in the developing metaverse. Meta, formerly known as Facebook, even went so far as to change its company name to reflect this new focus. Microsoft will probably keep its name, but it intends to make a sizeable acquisition that it thinks will help build a presence in this network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection.
