“Sam Altman Would Never”: Mark Zuckerberg’s Inflatable Surfing Stunt on July 4th Sparks Internet Frenzy

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has once more made waves—literally and online—by posting what he himself called the "stupidest thing" he's ever done to mark Independence Day. In a now-viral Instagram video, Zuckerberg is surfing on a giant inflatable costume of the American flag colors, eliciting laughter and astonishment on social media.

 

The video opens with Zuckerberg on a boat, followed by the text: “Is this the stupidest thing we’ve done so far?” The clip then cuts to the tech mogul surfing in full inflatable regalia, continuing his now-annual tradition of over-the-top Independence Day stunts.

 

“Happy 4th of July!” he captioned the post, which quickly drew millions of views and a flood of comments.
