Mark Zuckerberg manages to create a ripple on Twitter each time he drops a post and it was no different when he shared a video on the occasion of US Independence Day. The 37-year-old decided to celebrate July 4 by riding a surfboard with the picturesque mountains in the background. The video, shared on Facebook by Mr Zuckerberg features the John Denver classic Take Me Home, Country Roads playing in the background. The wakeboarding video was accompanied by the simple caption, "Happy July 4th."
The video soon made its way to other social media platforms such as Twitter and elicited quite the response from the good folks on the Internet. A user named Seyi Taylor posted the video on the micro-blogging platform and in less than 12 hours, the video has garnered as many as 4 million views.

I'm not really sure what I've just watched to be honest ????????

Another user said that Mr Zuckerberg's wakeboarding skills looked like "science fiction".

Many others could not wrap their head around why Mr Zuckerberg posted the video and wondered if he thought he would come off looking cool. "His friends don't like him if they don't save him from this," read one comment.
Somehow, this dude looked at this and thought it was fine or cool and still decided to post it??

For some users, the video was a strict no-no.

Many users failed to understand just how the tech giant had arrived at this idea.
Imagine being told that your boss wants a video of himself surfing...on a lake...holding an American flag

This man. This is the man we have chosen to hand all of our data over to. For nothing but the pleasure of having a platform to engage with people we are already engaging with elsewhere.
