Elon Musk has been all over the news recently as he was reported to be acquiring Twitter for $44 billion. Now his name is on the headlines again, and this time because he joked about taking over Coca-Cola next.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder and CEO said that his next purchase may be Coca-Cola, so he can bring back the Coke with cocaine. Musk teased about acquiring more major companies and bringing back popular items that those firms have introduced and made popular in the past.
In the case of Coca-Cola Company, the billionaire said that he will buy it to reintroduce Coke with cocaine as one of its ingredients. "Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in," he tweeted on Thursday.
According to Fox Business, the tweet was actually a response to a post by another Twitter user who posted a photo of a Coke bottle that was publicly sold in 1894. In his post, he said the beverage contained 3.5 grams of cocaine and asked for it to be restored by writing “Bring it back.”
And this is not all, the co-creator of Dogecoin, Billy Markus, also asked Elon Musk if he could also buy Fox Broadcasting Company because he wants another season of “Firefly,” a TV series that run for one season only from 2002 to 2003. He replied by saying that sci-fi would be great.
The thread attracted many other users and asked the Tesla chief to buy certain companies. Musk shared a photoshopped image of himself making a promise to acquire McDonald’s and fix all of its ice cream machines. To this, the 50-year-old businessman hilariously replied, "Listen, I can't do miracles ok."
Others asked Elon to buy Facebook and TikTok and then delete them. The jokes are getting more interesting that even the Libertarian Party of Minnesota suggested for him to “buy the Federal Reserve and put the Gold Back in Our Money.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that Elon Musk’s fortune currently stands at $253 billion, which is a long way ahead of the no. 2 richest man in the world - Jeff Bezos - who is currently worth around $162 billion. He is expected to complete the deal with Twitter at any time despite some issues.
