Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), has been trying out new hobbies lately. He’s taken up activities like surfing and jiu-jitsu, and now he’s learning to fly.
He applied for a student pilot certificate with the Federal Aviation Administration, and if he passes the test, he’ll be able to get a pilot’s license. Other tech executives like Sam Altman from OpenAI, Evan Spiegel from Snap, and Elon Musk are also aviators.
Besides flying, Zuckerberg has been into martial arts training during the COVID pandemic. He shared a photo on Instagram with mixed martial arts fighters Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski, leading to rumors of a potential match with Elon Musk in a “cage match.” Zuckerberg’s diverse interests and activities are making headlines in the tech and entertainment worlds.
