It’s not clear that EA funding relies on Facebook/Meta much anymore. The original tweet is deleted, and this post is 3 years old but Holden wrote of Cari and Dustin’s wealth:
I also note that META stock is not as large a part of their portfolio as some seem to assume
You could argue Facebook/Meta is what made Dustin wealthy originally, but probably not correct to say that EA funding “deeply relies” on Meta today.
Bloomberg’s valuation of Moskovitz’s fortune recently dropped by ~60% (from $30B to $11B) as his level of ownership of Meta was not significant enough to show up in their filings.
Note that Moskovitz’s involvement in Asana probably influences his perspective on AI:
For us, there was only one answer. We quickly assembled a dedicated AI team with a clear mandate: find innovative ways to weave the frontier models into the very fabric of Asana in a safe and reliable way. We collaborated closely with leading AI pioneers like Anthropic and OpenAI to accelerate our efforts and stay at the forefront. We launched Asana AI and brought to market powerful generative AI features like smart status updates, smart summaries, and smart chat. The process of taking these first steps unlocked our learning and led us to countless new ideas. We knew this was just the beginning.
...
...We could see the power and potential of integrating AI into Asana’s core collaborative features. With our Work Graph data model providing a perfect foundation for AI to understand the complex connections between goals, portfolios, projects, and tasks, we realized AI could work alongside human teammates in a natural way...

...We invite you to be the first to know about the latest developments in AI-powered collaborative work here...

(But Forbes’ estimate didn’t change much at $19B)
