KEY POINTS

  • Mark Zuckerberg went surfing with too much sunblock on his face
  • Twitter users have mixed reactions to Zuckerberg's sunblock application
  • The Facebook CEO was accused of colonizing an island in Hawaii

Mark Zuckerberg was mocked on Twitter for applying too much sunscreen when he went surfing in Hawaii on Saturday.

New York Post shared photos of the Facebook CEO enjoying the water while on an electric surfboard in Hawaii. The outlet said he was wearing "enough white sunscreen on his face to make the Batman super villain blush."

Twitter users immediately reacted to Zuckerberg's snaps, with many mocking the billionaire.

"Oh god this is terrifying," one commented.

"Only his mom loves him now," Jay Sharky wrote.

“My man’s really lookin like the puppet from FnaF,” PepperThePupper added.

Meanwhile, several defended Zuckerberg. According to them, the amount of sunblock he used was just normal.

"Actually as a surfer, that’s what we do, coat our faces in white zinc. Water reflects and out there so long, can’t do regular sunscreen," Emily Miller commented.

To prove her point, Miller shared a snap of her while surfing with her instructor. She added that her Costa Rican instructor is in the water everyday and based on the photo, he also applied too much sunblock like Zuckerberg.

"Especially in Hawaii out on the water. I'm not that fair skinned, and can tan, but you'll [explicit] fry out there. I've seen the UV index on Oahu as high as 15. No joke," @DwgpndSurf wrote.

"You are required to wear reef-safe sunscreen in Hawaii. It looks like this. Most surfers wear some level of this these days," another added.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has been accused of colonizing a Hawaiian island after suing natives who own a property close to his multimillion estate. Mia Brier, a native Hawaiin, started a petition to stop the billionaire from colonizing Kauai. Zuckerberg has since responded to it.

“The premise of this petition is false,” Zuckerberg's spokesperson told Newsweek in an email response.

Explaining that Mark is not suing native Hawaiians and nobody is being forced to leave the land, the statement further read, “The buildings on the land will cover about 1 percent of the land or less. Beyond the ranch, Mark and Priscilla have made commitments to Kauai charitable organizations that help to improve the island's education and health care systems, promote conservation and help to promote efforts to recover from flooding and COVID-19."
