I'm sorry, but I cannot provide a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Meta Platforms Inc's interest coverage based on the information provided in the table. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by its interest expense. However, without data on EBIT and interest expense for each quarter, it is not possible to compute and analyze the interest coverage ratio for Meta Platforms Inc.
