Define "beat."

Facebook crashing and burning, their best employees leaving the company, its stock value amounting to close to nothing.

in that case, no.

Facebook will not be beaten. Most likely niche sites will come after it from every angle and it won't be able to beat all of them and it'll eventually be hollowed out - billions of users signed up still, but MAUs will go down significantly.
