Will Elon Musk buy Coca-Cola?

Days after buying Twitter, Elon Musk announced what he wants next. The outspoken Tesla CEO revealed that he would soon buy Coca-Cola to put the 'cocaine back in'. Musk’s latest tweet on Coca-Cola is now going viral. On Thursday morning (India time), Musk tweeted, saying, “Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in”. This is in reference to the usage of coca leaves to produce Coca-Cola in the 1980s, which was a common ingredient in the production of cocaine.

With the first Coca-Cola being served at Jacobs’ Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) on May 8, 1886 by Dr John Pemberton, the company has transformed into a beverage behemoth. The company has interests in the manufacturing, retailing, and marketing of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups, and alcoholic beverages. The company produces Coca-Cola, the sugary drink it is best known for, invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton. Coca Cola has presence in over 200 countries.  Earlier, Musk had also tweeted he wished to buy McDonald’s ‘and fix all of the ice-cream machines’.  However, taking a screen grab of his earlier tweet, Musk wrote, “Listen, I can’t do miracles ok.”
