Twitter Owner Elon Musk next plans to buy Coca Cola and decides to put back the Cocaine in it
Following Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, a shower of requests for him to buy a slew of other businesses flooded in. While several Twitter users suggested various things the Tesla CEO could have done with the money, many others asked him to take over other companies as well. It became a meme template, with people pretending to be Musk and tweeting that he’s buying Australia or McDonald’s to fix all of the ice cream machines. Musk, who is known for his sleuthing, seemed to have grasped the task. “Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in,” he tweeted.
Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in

This tweet drew a lot of attention, and Twitter users couldn’t stop talking about it. One user even posted a photo of a Coca-Cola bottle from 1894, which contained 3.5 grammes of cocaine. As per National Institute of Drug Abuse, the original recipe for Coca-Cola actually contained traces of cocaine, eliminated only in 1929 during the US’ Prohibition Era.
This isn’t the first time the Tesla owner has mentioned purchasing; he’s been on a buying frenzy, adding firms to his shopping cart.
