What happened: Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and the new owner of Twitter, has expressed an unusual desire to buy Coca-Cola, and if he succeeds, he has a big plan for the corporation. “Next, I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in,” the tech mogul posted on Twitter.
Details: “I don’t know about you, but…” wrote one person, “ but @elonmusk, I’m already a fan of the new ownership.” “He is an inspiration to entrepreneurs, a visionary and innovative individual motivated to achieve his goals despite the challenges in his way to positively impact the world. #ElonMusk #ElonMuskBuyTwitter #MoreThanJustAGame,” another person commented. Others questioned Elon Musk’s sanity, with one commenter stating, “This is Kanye West level crazy. #ElonIsUnwell.” “Why would you do that?” remarked another person, “That was stupid and dump what you just said. Grow up!” What you need to know: Coca-Cola was originally infused with cocaine and caffeine when it was first introduced in the 1800s. In the early 1900s, the cocaine, which was generated from the coca leaf, was eliminated. After he successfully acquired Twitter via a $44 billion acquisition deal, the billionaire announced his intention to buy Coca-Cola next.
