This person turned out to be none other than Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, the company that also initiated Threads. He expressed his appreciation for Vonn’s post with two clapping emojis, sparking a conversation between the two notable figures. Vonn, in response to Zuckerberg’s comment, wrote, “Have you foiled?! Let’s go!! Or skiing lol.” Mark Zuckerberg replied enthusiastically, “Yeah, it’s great! Once you get the e-foil down, try towing behind a jetski on a regular foil board. Then you can go in the ocean and that’s even more fun. Skiing is pretty good too…”
