Elon Musk jokingly tweets he wants to buy Coca-Cola

Elon Musk has joked that he wants to buy Coca-Cola and “put cocaine” back in the fizzy drink. After he bought social media network Twitter for a whopping $44 billion (more than R700bn), the multibillionaire took to the micro-blogging app to stir up more controversy by quipping about his “next” acquisition.

The 50-year-old Tesla and SpaceX boss – who has come under fire for his plans to make Twitter a place for “free speech” – jokingly suggested he would add the illegal substance back into the recipe for the soft drink, which contained cocaine and caffeine when it was first launched in the 19th century.
In a statement regarding his takeover of Twitter, the world’s richest man said: “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.

“I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans.

Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in
