The problem with #2 is Meta doesn't operate in a vacuum. Assuming there are problems to be solved, if Meta doesn't do #1 then someone else will. The someone else will eventually surpass Meta.

Surpass Meta in what? Meta’s revenue comes from social networks. Revenue doesn’t not increase with LOC. Writing 5x more code does not get you X billion users.

No company can rest on its laurels, even one the size of Meta. No one said LoC increases users or revenue, implementing ideas does though. If Meta decides to use the benefits of AI to keep the current productivity and cut staff instead of increasing productivity, they will eventually be displaced by a group that went the other way.
only 2 ways this can work:
1) Meta collectively generates 5x more code than it presently is capable of generating
2) Meta generates the same amount of code than it presently does, with fewer engineers since each engineer can (supposedly) generate 5x code
Unless Zuck announced some initiative that will require 5x more code than they currently can generate, you can be pretty sure the goal is #2.
