'Act normal, Mark': Cringeworthy clip of Facebook CEO hydrofoiling and holding an American flag for July 4 while John Denver's 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' plays sets social media alight

By

Mark Zuckerberg posted a cringeworthy clip to his Instagram account on July 4 in which he rides above the water on an electronic surfboard while holding an American flag to the tune of John Denver's hit song Take Me Home, Country Roads.

Zuckerberg, who is worth about $128 billion, has often been photographed in meme-worthy situations. The Independence Day post alone has been watched nearly 470,000 times within three hours of having been posted.

'Happy July 4th!' Zuckerberg, 37, wrote in the caption. 

According to the website WindFoilZone.com, a complete eFoil setup can 'vary in price anywhere from $4,000 to $12,000' and there are currently two major brands - Lift Foils and Flite Board.

The just over one-minute video has been mocked by some social media users while others criticized the billionaire for an apparent publicity stunt.

The head of Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, recently said the site is 'no longer a photo-sharing app' while the tech giant tries to compete with TikTok and YouTube in the video sector.

'Video is driving an immense amount of growth online for all the major platforms right now and it's one that I think we need to lean into more,' Adam Mosseri said, according to Financial Times. 'We are no longer a photo sharing app.'

Twitter user Chris Messsina wrote in response to the Zuckerberg video: 'Proof that Instagram is no longer a photo sharing app.'

In a comment made to Zuckerberg's post on Instagram, one person referenced a decision from a federal judge last Monday dismissing antitrust complaints filed against Facebook by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and attorney generals from 48 of the 50 states in the United States.

As noted by CNBC, Facebook might have been required to divest Instagram and WhatsApp if it had lost the antitrust lawsuits. 

'When you get your antitrust lawsuit thrown about by a judge. Let’s GOOOOO Zuck!' the commenter wrote.

Others simply wrote that Zuckerberg was 'destroying America.'

'Flying the flag of the country you’re trying to destroy, classic,' @menriquez86 commented on Instagram. 

Others joked that Zuckerberg 'may have united the left and the right in America: just not in the way he planned.'

'I wish they could bring John Denver back to life just so he could sue Mark Zuckerberg for this,' @TheRealHoarse tweeted.

HuffPost editor Philip Lewis tweeted: 'Someone told Mark Zuckerberg to act totally normal for July 4th.'

Inside Paedophile Island: Incredible pictures show Jeffrey Epstein cavorting with scantily clad young women where he provided gourmet food and beauty lotions and spent hours watching topless teens in Girls Gone Wild 'for inspiration'

By
Jeffrey Epstein spent an hour of his day watching explicit episodes of Girls Gone Wild while working out and cavorting with nubile young women at his private Caribbean island, as seen in these photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. The perverted financier, who committed suicide at age 66 in August 2019, would ride his exercise bike as he watched the X-rated footage -featuring bare-breasted college girls - because it was 'inspiration' for him, a source who spent time on the island told DailyMail.com. Epstein, who reportedly demanded sex three times a day, was transfixed by the graphic videos that showed young women flashing their breasts to the camera in bars and nightclubs.   New details of his sinister life have further been exposed in never-before-seen photographs of his private island Little St James, which was dubbed 'pedophile' and 'orgy' island by disgusted locals. Epstein appears in the series of images surrounded by nubile young women, including s...
