The caption read:
“Today, after the whole neighborhood has been upset about this giant pothole that’s been screwing up cars and bicycles for weeks, I went out with my team and fixed it. I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it. Here you go.”
Fortune magazine stated Daniel Ketchell, a spokesperson for Schwarzenegger indicated that Brentwood residents repeatedly made requests for the pothole to be repaired.

He tweeted in 2018 following the death of former First Lady Barbara Bush:
“My thoughts are with President Bush and the entire Bush family, along with every person on this planet who was lucky enough to call Barbara a friend. As heartbroken as I feel right now, I can hear her voice at Camp David telling us to not worry about her, to go on.”
He underwent heart surgery to replace a pulmonary valve in 2018.
