X public perception is centered around Musk, easily enough. Meta's public perception was semi-centered around Zuck, not nearly to the same degree, but I can easily imagine that if they didn't pull back a bit, they would have had a hard time continuing forward with that prior image. Not saying they can't go forwards now, just that they are being careful, to try and make a more solid, longer lasting brand. As opposed to the burn-everything approach of X. They have the time to spend: X isn't going to ever trend upwards in public perception, Google is already there in every aspect, so the only option is to play catch-up to Google and not worry about anything else.
