That tracks with what I’ve heard from people in the industry. For Musk and now Huffman, it’s some sort of ideological or philosophical thing in terms of how they’ve dramatically shifted the focus and operation of these previously (mostly) stable companies.
The fact that the platform makes the community isn’t necessarily something I’d consider at first, and I don’t think Elon considered it either.
Small correction, it’s actually the community that makes the platform. The community exists regardless of platform, the platform is there to help the community connect. The platform can help make new communities by facilitating connections but the platform needs communities to exist. People will form communities tailored to their interests without the internet all day, they’ve done it for millenia. If the platform makes it difficult for communities to connect, then the community will just go elsewhere.
I agree, the decentralized aspect is a huge plus and makes this system . But I think the OP's approach is fundamentally misguided and I have my suspicions for a few reasons.
It's a 45 minute meeting that provides an insight into Meta's operations. There's no need to contribute anything, just sit back and listen.
There's no reason to post about this and brag about it now. Compare this with what Christian did when Reddit tried to claim Apollo was blackmailing them. There's no leverage now, just some internet points.
We have one email and a response. Was there any further communication? How do we know this is all that was said? I could go further and question the legitimacy of this screencap but I'm willing to give OP the benefit of the doubt here.
As others have pointed out, how does shutting them out completely stay in keeping with fediverse principles? This is legitimate question since, to me, it seems like despite the risks, it's antithetical to the spirit of the fediverse until they demonstrate bad behavior here.
To quote OP's email, "Zero interest in having a conversation with #Meta 'off the record or otherwise." "Otherwise" here is...on the record. So OP also won't meet with them in a completely open meeting?
Look, I get it, I dislike Meta too. But this just seems like a misstep and bragging for zero actual gain.

I wish that there were a reboot or remake of Total Overdose. It was a fun GTA-like game
