We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Discusses These 13 Stocks & Criticizes Billionaires. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
In a recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer continued to warn users to not trust billionaires. His remarks built on an earlier show, where he had shared that “you can’t make money listening to a billionaire because they already have made money.”
This time around, Cramer outlined that billionaires often share the sentiment that it’s hard for others to become as rich as they are. “They close the door,” he commented and added: “Well they’re always negative.” Cramer also believes that luck might play a large role in making someone a billionaire. According to him: “We never, we never grade them because if they’re billionaires we think that they have to be genius. We never think about luck. We just think, well they might have had really great trade.”
In response, co-host David Faber pointed out that the one key trait that he has observed in most billionaires is their relentless drive. Cramer responded by sharing that billionaires are “tiresome.” He also felt that President Biden’s goodbye speech about oligarchs was “completely ignored.”
During the show, Cramer also commented on how using ChatGPT was proving troublesome. He outlined:
“I use ChatGPT like, probably maybe fifty times a day. I do it text and I’m continually let down by the lack of rigor of what I get. I mean I’ll say tell me everything I need to know about [a pharma company – BMY]. And it won’t even have the patent cliff. Doesn’t mention the patent. . . I mean it just doesn’t get the story at all.”
“Well no, you have to know, the key thing about I think about all these sites is you have to know how to put the question. Give me the pluses and minuses of [BMY], was the actual inquiry. And I just find that, it’s just not rigorous. I mean you can’t rely on it. You have to go to all the different sites. You know I go to. Claude-3 a lot. I’d rather go to Claude Rains than Claude-3.”

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 262
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the top-performing mega-cap stocks in 2025. The shares have gained 8.4% year-to-date as the firm is not exposed to AI data center spending and stands to benefit from rolling out AI initiatives on its social media platform. Cramer has also attributed Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)’s strong stock performance to the firm’s cost-cutting initiatives. This time around he commented on a report about the firm spending billions of dollars on data centers:
“I would regard their statement as denying the claim of The Information. But I’m not gonna disagree with you. Just that I was saying that the reaction to, the The Information’s story was very muted because people didn’t believe. And now we come out and they have the claim. I have no doubt in my mind, Carl . . .what I’m trying to say is this is not the fulcrum quarter. Is that, I think that everyone has to add more of these, they have to keep adding, remember this is a software platform. People don’t understand, this is a software [inaudible] that Meta needs, that NVIDIA’s offering. And you can buy more and put em’ in, put em’ in. But I hope that Jensen starts talking about video, I think the major problem is this that he’s not communicating the video story.”
Overall, META ranks 5th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
