    After taking over Twitter, Elon Musk plans to buy this multinational company, details here

    Musk stated on Twitter that he plans to purchase the international beverage company ‘to put the cocaine back in.’


    Digital Desk: Elon Musk, who recently purchased social media major Twitter, has announced a new target Coca-Cola. Musk stated on Twitter that he plans to purchase the international beverage company ‘to put the cocaine back in.’


    “Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in,” Musk wrote on Twitter. 


    Coca-Cola is a carbonated beverage manufactured by Atlanta located The Coca-Cola Company.


    Only Musk knew if he was joking or serious about his said statement as he is known for spouting off ideas on Twitter, some of which are humorous. His tweets frequently elicit disputes on various topics, including free speech.


    Musk had previously tweeted that he wanted to buy McDonald’s and “repair all of the ice cream machines.” Musk retweeted his earlier McDonald’s tweet this morning and wrote,” Listen, I can’t do miracles ok.”


    Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, buy  Twitter for $44 billion on Monday, vowing a more liberal approach to regulating content on the social media network where he promotes his interests, criticises opponents, and opines on a wide range of matters to over 83 million followers. 


    Tesla’s outspoken CEO has stated that he wants to acquire and privatise Twitter because he believes it is not living up to expectations as a free expression medium.


    In a joint statement with Twitter, Musk said that he wants to make the service better than ever by adding new features, eliminating automated spam accounts, and making the service’s algorithms transparent to the public to boost confidence.


    Many users are concerned that Musk’s more hands-off approach to content filtering would make the site more of a sanctuary for disinformation, hate speech, and bullying, which it has fought hard to combat in recent years. According to Wall Street analysts, if he goes too far, he may risk alienating advertising.
