Social Media Reactions: Internet Users Share a Laugh
Zuckerberg’s response quickly became a hot topic on social media. One user joked, “Such a wild thought to think bro has group chats with his homies on his own app,” referring to how Zuckerberg mentioned sharing memes with his friends on WhatsApp, a platform owned by Meta. Another user cleverly noted, “He somehow managed to advertise Threads messenger and WhatsApp in the answer that wasn’t an answer.”
Others commented on Zuckerberg’s public persona, with one remarking, “Mark now dresses like the AI version of himself that went viral some months ago,” referencing his previous AI-related appearances. The interview even led to speculation about what memes might be lurking on the Meta CEO’s phone, leaving many curious.
The Origin of Memes: More Than Just Internet Fads
While memes are often thought of as internet-born phenomena, their origins go far deeper. According to a 2022 report by The New York Times, memes didn’t begin with the internet. Some linguists suggest that humans have been using memes as a form of communication for centuries. In fact, the word “meme” is derived from the French word “même,” meaning “same,” and the Greek word “mimoúmai,” meaning “to imitate.”
As Zuckerberg’s interview shows, memes are now an integral part of how people communicate, no matter their social status—even tech billionaires. Whether for sharing a laugh or making a point, memes continue to shape digital culture in profound ways.
