Muse Takes a Cut Per Transaction — Whose Entry Point Does It Touch?
Meta Connect opened Wednesday with $1,299 VR glasses, camera-free smart glasses, and a way to monetize AI assistant Muse: a fee on every transaction it books, size undisclosed. Meta rose 1.02% to $744.10 as all three indexes fell. The fee only works if Muse books the flight or fills the cart instead of the user — Expedia, Instacart and Amazon sit in that path. Alphabet fell 3.58% to $334.98, over triple the Nasdaq's drop, since search and checkout are its front door; Apple slipped 0.80% to $337.02, the VR glasses aimed at its turf. Expedia, Amazon or Alphabet — who feels it first?
