Very not so. Amazon was merely making available externally to others the very production line that they used to make their own site (at a very healthy profit).

He's investing $10B into... what? AWS/Cloud was a reasonable business pitch (which seemed crazy but essentially: outsource your IT ops to AWS and we can help you scale like crazy very quickly). What's Mark's pitch here? VR is nowhere near prime-time - just read around even on HN. It's got major issues and still lacks a killer app. It's a vanity project that only a fantastically rich, out of touch person can indulge in. That or FB is toxic.
