Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg celebrated the Fourth of July in style — that is — in black tie.
Zuckerberg posted a video to Instagram Reels where he was surfing, sipping on what appeared to be a can of beer, and flying Old Glory, all while wearing a tuxedo.
He captioned the Instagram post“Happy birthday, America!”
Zuckerberg’s video, featuring a patriotic combination of activities, had Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” playing as a soundtrack.

One commenter poked fun at Zuckerberg, joking that he had used artificial intelligence (AI) to generate the video.
One user wrote, “Not AI generated” with a laughing emoticon.

Not all reception was positive, however. Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy quickly took to X for his take.
Portnoy tweeted, “You can’t go from supremely uncool to cool by just trying hard. Zuck will always be uncool. I refuse to entertain the possibility he will ever do anything cool.”
