• On July 4, 2025, Zuckerberg posted a video of himself wakesurfing while wearing an inflatable suit printed with the American flag.
• The video was captioned "Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸" and features an off-camera voice teasing, "Is this the stupidest thing we’ve done so far?".
• It went viral across social media platforms, drawing comparisons to his previous Independence Day wake surfing routines.
• Reactions ranged from mocking the stunt as 'cringe' or a billionaire showboating to praising his creativity and dubbing him 'America’s official mascot'.
• The inflatable suit is the latest twist in a tradition that began in 2021 with slippers and evolved in 2024 to a tuxedo-and-beer performance.
