Published July 5, 2024

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms Inc. META, commemorated Independence Day in his own unique fashion, mirroring his somewhat infamous video from the previous year. On the Fourth of July, Zuckerberg was seen embracing the celebratory spirit by surfing in a suit, beer in hand, with the American flag proudly on display – an act reminiscent of his 2021 holiday celebration. The festive moment was captured and shared with audiences on Facebook and Instagram, Meta Platforms' flagship social media services.

A Tradition Continues with a Twist

The decision to recreate the viral video suggests Zuckerberg's penchant for personal branding and engaging content creation. Dressed in a suit, the sight of the tech CEO cutting through the waves symbolized a blend of patriotism and playful swagger. It served both as an entertaining piece for social media consumers and a subtle nod to the role Zuckerberg’s company plays in shared American experiences. As he effortlessly balanced on the surfboard, his message was clear: 'Happy Birthday, America.'
