Facebook has so far tried, and failed, to do this. Twice.
First was Facebook Spaces. Opened 2017, closed 2019. This was a VR world. Not a very good one. It was mostly a 3D approach to a desktop.[1] You could hand other people flat pictures. Sharing! Total flop.
Second was Facebook Horizon. Opened 2020, still running, but not getting much attention. It's a 3D cartoon level VR world. Works OK, not very interesting or pretty. Big emphasis on "safety", which means no sex. Avatars have no legs; nothing below the waistline. Plus there's a panic button which puts you in a "personal safe zone", where you're in a bubble until Security gets there to rescue you from whomever is annoying you. While it's still running, Facebook doesn't mention Horizon any more.
Zuckerberg's vision is probably more like that video I've linked before, "Hypereality". The real world, with overlays from augmented reality. Overlays of more ads.
