'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

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.'

I was hoping he would hit a concrete wall at full speed. That or being eaten by a shark. The sack of crap spent $400 million it’s still an election shouldn’t be waving the flag.

Well, here’s a video about an American and the flag, let’s see Instagram post it like they ought to if they understood anything about this country:

No PR stunt, just an old soldier and a lump in your throat.

I wonder if he knows how much the American people hate him. Poor fool, the left hates him because he’s rich and the right hates him because he’s an anti American little twit.

Hey mark, ever hear the song Can’t buy me love?

That's the ONLY place he feels safe, out on the water on a chilly evening. ROFL! Let's see him do that during a Trump boat parade and see how far he gets.

Seeing the A-HOLE HOLDING THE AMERICAN FLAG who was also instrumental in ILLEGALLY FORCING TRUMP OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE PREMATURELY is DEEPLY NAUSEATING.

He posted some pics a week or so ago of him shooting a bow, with hearing protectors on. It was hilarious.

This is just strange.
It kind of looks like animation but why?
What is the motive?
What’s the bag, man!?
