Two days after buying Twitter for $44 billion, the richest man in the world is once again setting the web on fire with a tweet posted this Thursday, April 28.
Twitter’s new owner wasted no time. Two days after his impressive acquisition of the social network for 44 billion dollars, Elon Musk is once again talking about him on the web.
A message that has gone viral
The boss of Tesla, the richest man in the world, wants to give Twitter more freedom to abstain. Hence the publication of a first tweet this Thursday: “Let’s make sure that Twitter gives us maximum pleasure!”
Let’s make Twitter maximum fun!

In the aftermath, Elon Musk posted a new tweet: “Next time I’m buying Coca-Cola to put cocaine back in.” A publication immediately went viral: it was liked by more than 3 million Internet users and shared several hundred thousand times.
Reference to the history of the brand
In this message, the billionaire refers to the origins of Coca-Cola, historically made from the coca leaf, from which cocaine is derived. At the time, in the United States, this drug was used quite legally for its toning effects. If some Internet users took this tweet at face value, it therefore looks more like a joke. But with Elon Musk, you never know…
Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in
