After Twitter announced on April 25 that it had reached an acquisition agreement with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Musk suspected of locking in a "new target" on Twitter on the 28th - the acquisition of US consumer goods giant Coca-Cola.
At 8:56 Beijing time on the 28th, Musk tweeted, "Next I want to acquire Coca-Cola and add cocaine back in." ”
As soon as the tweet was posted, it caused heated discussion among netizens. Currently, Musk has more than 86 million followers on Twitter.
Previously, Twitter and Musk reached a acquisition agreement on the 25th, agreeing that Musk would wholly acquire Twitter at a price of $54.20 per share, totaling about $44 billion in cash.
The deal, which has received unanimous approval from Twitter's board of directors but still requires shareholder and regulatory approvals, is expected to close in 2022. Upon completion of the transaction, Twitter will become a privately held company.
