Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg continued his annual Independence Day ritual by posting a video of himself wakesurfing—this time in an inflatable bodysuit printed with the American flag. Known for celebrating the Fourth of July with over-the-top antics, the tech billionaire had previously gone viral surfing with a U.S. flag. This year, he added a twist with the goofy outfit, all while holding the flag and grinning for the camera.
Sharing the clip on Instagram, Zuckerberg cheerfully wished “Happy 4th of July! US” and chuckled mid-ride, asking, “Is this the stupidest thing we have done so far?” The video, marking the 249th anniversary of the U.S.’s founding, quickly caught fire online, cementing his reputation for holiday absurdity.
Zuckerberg’s latest July 4 video is making the rounds online, continuing his tradition of quirky Independence Day celebrations. This year, the Meta CEO took things up a notch by wakesurfing in an inflatable American flag suit. The clip quickly went viral, drawing comparisons to his previous stunts—like the 2023 video where he surfed in a tuxedo while holding a US flag and a can of beer. These performances have become a yearly spectacle, eagerly awaited by social media users.
As Zuckerberg’s latest 4th of July stunt went viral, social media erupted with reactions—many praising the Meta CEO for raising the bar on his annual tradition, while others poked fun or criticized the performance. Comments ranged from admiration—”I literally woke up this morning and asked myself what you were going to do this year to top off the last few years”—to playful challenges like “Full send !!!! I can’t imagine how you’ll celebrate next year.” One user even joked: “The internet now requires you to one-up this challenge every year until you’re holding a live eagle with fireworks shooting off the base of the board while chugging a beer in 2030.”
While several users cheered on the patriotic performance, others weren’t impressed. “Lol. Nothing stupid about this. I need to see more of it. Happy 4th of July USA,” said one user, while another wrote, “I want my freedom and independence from these lunatic billionaires. Mark Zuckerberg celebrates July 4th like a 5-year-old.” A different post dubbed the clip “Mark Zuckerberg’s annual 4th of July wakeboarding cringe-fest.” Despite the mixed reactions, some declared him the “official mascot of America.”
For the unversed, the U.S. celebrated its 249th Independence Day this year, marking the country’s founding on July 4, 1776.
