Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s patriotic Fourth of July video Thursday drew praise from fans of his unexpectedly fruitful rebrand, but it fell flat with his archrival: billionaire Elon Musk.

The video shows long-haired Zuckerberg sporting an elegant tuxedo and sipping a beer while flaunting an American flag on his beloved hydrofoil, a board that uses a wing below the water to keep afloat. The video, set to Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA with the caption “Happy birthday, America!”, quickly went viral, garnering more than 700,000 likes and millions of views.
