Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), seems to be exploring new horizons beyond the digital realm. Recent reports reveal that Zuckerberg obtained a student pilot certificate in March, as indicated in FAA records.
This move comes amidst playful banter with Elon Musk, who has teased Zuckerberg with a challenge to a cage fight and other taunts.
Achievement unlocked?

The main hurdle lies in obtaining a medical certificate through an Aviation Medical Examiner’s office.
