'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.'

So this schizophrenic punk now admits that banning the NY Post's reports about Hunter's laptop was wrong. I've heard it said that if that had gotten widespread publicity when first revealed Commie Harris would still be doing her best work in the dark.
