Facebook and Instagram parent Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently shared a video celebrating America's Independence Day . The United States of America celebrated its 248th Independence Day on 4th of July. In the video posted on Instagram, Zuckerberg is wakeboarding wearing a tuxedo, holding an American flag, and enjoying a drink. In the video, Zuckerberg is also seen wearing a golden chain and a pair of Meta Ray-Bans. Bruce Springsteen’s1984 hit "Born in the U.S.A." played in the background of the viral clip. "Happy birthday, America!", wrote Facebook CEO in the caption of the post.



The video has gone viral on Instagram with over 9 million likes. It has also garnered considerable chatter on social media platforms with some fans praising his enthusiasm, while made fun of the picture. Among those who mocked the video is Tesla CEO Elon Musk .


“I hate to admit it but Mark Zuckerberg has swagger,” an X user who goes by Greg wrote on X while re-posting Facebook founder's video. To this another user who goes by the name 'Whole Mars Catalog' replied: “Everyone is praising Mark for this video but personally I still think he zucks.”


Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to this tagged post and wrote, “May he continue to have fun on his yachts. I prefer to work.”

This is not the first time that Musk has taken a jab at Zuckerberg. The two have engaged in public spat several times earlier too.

The billionaire tech CEOs are reported to be in conflict since a SpaceX rocket explosion destroyed a Facebook satellite in the year 2016. Since then they have been at loggerheads over a number of topics, including artificial intelligence and Facebook's data-collection practices. The two also challenged each other to a cage fight last year.
