Zuckerberg Confirms Meta Layoffs of 10 Percent May 20 and Suggests More Ahead

AI infrastructure spending is the trigger, but more cuts loom

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees the company will cut about 10% of its workforce on May 20, citing soaring capital spending tied to AI infrastructure. Speaking at a town hall, he also refused to rule out additional layoffs later this year. The move lands amid employee backlash over new monitoring initiatives and Meta’s shift toward an “AI native” organization.
