Until a few years ago, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was considered a peculiar nerd. With unusual hobbies and a new look, the 40-year-old has recently been trying to correct his image, culminating in a post to mark US Independence Day.

Back in 2021, "Zuck" celebrated US Independence Day in a surprisingly patriotic way for the time, waving a flag on an electric hydrofoil board. The coolness factor of the currently fourth richest man in the world increased slightly, but Zuckerberg was unable to rid himself of his eccentric image with this wave ride.

In the meantime, however, the meta boss has matured, recently presenting himself in a more striking fashion look and as a tough mixed martial arts fighter who would love to step into the ring against Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg underlines this image change in his latest post on the occasion of Independence Day on July 4th.

The new Mark once again mimes the patriotic surfer, albeit much more self-confident - and cooler. With a flag in one hand and a can of beer in the other, he balances over the waves in a tuxedo with a bow tie, sunglasses, full curly hair and a gold chain. "Happy Birthday, America!" he writes.

This goes down well with his virtual followers: "It couldn't be more American," writes one of his more than 119 million followers. "The gold chain makes all the difference", another. In any case, we are already looking forward to next year's video.
