Mark Zuckerberg – Facebook CEO, tech entrepreneur and man with one of the weirdest social media presences ever – has been solidly mocked online for his Fourth of July Instagram post.
Zuck (as he is known on Instagram) posted a minute long video of him riding an electric surfboard (?) and holding a really big American flag aloft (??) set to the tune of John Denver’s classic song, ‘Country Roads, Take Me Home’ (???).
The video currently has more than 2.8 million views. Perhaps expectedly, Zukerberg has become thoroughly memified for the video.
Indeed, meme account @tank.sinatra commented “this is the stuff meme dreams are made of.” The comment has 5,000 likes.

Predictably, the post gained traction on Twitter, too.

I wish they could bring John Denver back to life just so he could sue Mark Zuckerberg for this.

Someone told Mark Zuckerberg to act totally normal for July 4th https://t.co/795YWFigjA

Perhaps Zuckerberg was intentionaly going for a meme-worthy shot, though. Back in July last year, a bizarre image of him covered in sunscreen while wake-boarding went viral.
This could be an indication that the new key to memes is the unholy combination of tech billionaires and water sports.
