Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg celebrated the Fourth of July in a unique way by sporting a black-tie outfit while surfing and sipping a beer, all while proudly displaying the American flag. In an Instagram post captioned "Happy birthday, America!" Zuckerberg showcased his patriotic spirit with a background soundtrack of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." Despite some teasing from commenters about potential Artificial Intelligence involvement in the video, Zuckerberg's festive video highlighted a fun and creative way to mark the holiday. However, not all responses were positive, with Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy sharing his take on Twitter. Overall, Zuckerberg's playful and stylish celebration showcased Meta's innovative approach to social media, with the company recently announcing that Meta's Threads has surpassed 175 million monthly active users, and Zuckerberg mentioning that the payoff for Meta's AI efforts could be a few years away.
