What Do Social Media Users Think About This Tweet By Elon Musk?
Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 28, 2022
Social media users are giving it a mixed reaction as some of them consider it a joke. While the others are taking it seriously because Musk in 2017 had casually asked about Twitter’s price and we all know where it went. According to his agreement with Twitter, Musk can’t tweet anything disparaging about Twitter. Rest all is allowed and hence the richest man in the world is talking a lot about other things, including what Twitter should be like. In his vision, Twitter should encourage free speech as permitted by the law of the land; it should be politically neutral as in, it has to be equally upsetting for the far right and the far left. On the security aspect, Elon Musk wants Twitter DMs to have end-to-end encryption like Signal so that no one can spy on or hack personal messages.
Musk Clears The Air!
Coming back to the tweet about Elon buying Coca-Cola. Musk has cleared the air about it. He shared that even if he is going to buy this Atlanta-based company, the only reason he will do is for the original recipe of the beverage. This is because the original recipe of Coca-Cola included cocaine in it. The reason for the presence of cocaine was a medical ailment. We know that Twitter would just be a baby in front of such a giant company as Coca-Cola. This is because its market cap is around $284 billion.
