On April 28, a news that "Musk said that he would buy Coca-Cola next" was on the hot search, because Musk announced on Twitter, which had just been acquired by him, "Next to buy Coca-Cola, and then add cocaine back in." ”
As soon as the incident came out, it immediately triggered a hot discussion, "It's good to have money, what do you want to buy a sentence of things", "Maybe in his eyes, he has already regarded himself as God, saying those crazy words for whatever he wants", "God wants to make it perish, you need to make it crazy first, Musk is fast", "I am ready to buy Tesla and add the fuel tank back in", "Good guy, good Pepsi".
Musk is indeed very rich. In the recently released 2022 Forbes Global Billionaires List, Musk ranked first in the list with a net worth of $219 billion, about 1.45 trillion yuan, and once again won the throne of the world's richest man. As a trillionaire, he just completed a big deal a few days ago.
Just on April 25, social media platform Twitter accepted Elon Musk's acquisition agreement, which Musk will buy for a total of $44 billion, or about 290 billion yuan. After the acquisition was completed, Twitter turned into a privately held company. Such a purchase price even exceeds the market value of 99% of A-share listed companies. Even A-share "chip leader" SMIC has a current market value of only 300 billion yuan.
However, most of the current market views believe that the bold words of buying Coca-Cola are more like Musk's "jokes" for the active atmosphere after buying Twitter. As of the latest close, Coca-Cola, which is located in the US stock market, rose 0.78% slightly to $65.56, with a total market value of $283.9 billion, about 1.87 trillion yuan, equivalent to 7.65 times Twitter's latest market value of $37.1 billion, which means that Musk even if he is not enough to catch all his wealth, which shows the difficulty of his acquisition.
It is worth mentioning that "stock god" Buffett is also a big fan of Coca-Cola, and he has been firmly holding it since he bought it in 1988. As of the end of 2021, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, holding 9.2% of Coca-Cola's shares, is the largest shareholder. According to the latest closing calculation, the value of its holdings can reach 172 billion yuan.
