Mark Zuckerberg, the tech titan behind Meta, is working hard to reshape his image—and he’s using more than just social media algorithms to do it. In a recent Instagram exchange, the billionaire casually dropped a bombshell about his surprisingly down-to-earth choice of car: a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.
Responding to a fan who asked what he drives, Zuckerberg revealed, “Mostly Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing these days, but sometimes other things.” It’s a refreshing and unexpected choice, especially considering most of his Silicon Valley peers are either zipping around in Teslas or don’t drive at all, relying on chauffeurs and luxury EVs. But Zuckerberg’s taste in muscle cars adds an edge to his evolving persona—one that’s a far cry from his robotic, tech mogul stereotype.
The CT5-V Blackwing isn’t just any car. With 668 horsepower packed into its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, this Cadillac is a beast on the road. And while Zuckerberg didn’t specify whether he opted for the six-speed manual or the 10-speed automatic, fans are dying to know if the Meta boss truly embraces the stick-shift life. If it’s a manual, that might just add a touch of human depth to the notoriously reserved CEO.
This move is part of Zuckerberg’s broader rebranding effort—complete with a new haircut and a “shrug it off” attitude toward critics. And let’s be honest, driving a souped-up Cadillac instead of an electric luxury sedan definitely gives him a unique vibe among the tech elite.
In a world where billionaires tend to blend into the background with self-driving EVs, Zuckerberg’s choice of a high-powered, gas-guzzling Blackwing sets him apart. It might even make you think twice about labeling him a cold, calculated CEO—especially if he ever decides to drop a video of himself doing burnouts to celebrate the Fourth of July.
