Elon Musk mocks Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for his 4th of July surfing behavior

Elon Musk lashed out at Mark Zuckerberg after his fellow tech billionaire wished America a “Happy Birthday” with a patriotic wakesurfing session.

On July 4, Musk weighed in on footage of a tuxedoed Zuckerberg simultaneously surfing the wake of a boat, holding an American flag and drinking from a can with a terse but pointed comment: “May he continue to have fun on his yachts. I’d rather be working.”

The surfing stunt was part of the Meta Platforms CEO’s participation in the celebration of Independence Day, which fell on a Thursday this year.

Zuckerberg’s music video, which features a patriotic mix of activities, was soundtracked by Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA.”

The comment from Musk, who heads electric vehicle maker Tesla and aerospace company SpaceX, appeared to reference reports that Zuckerberg owns a yacht. His vessel is 287 feet long and worth nine figures, according to The Sun and the New York Post.
