According to public information, the Coca-Cola drink was invented in 1885 by John Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, and the original formula contained cocaine in the form of coca leaf extract.

When Coca-Cola was invented, cocaine was legal and was a common ingredient in drugs. People think it's safe to use it in small amounts. Cocaine was eventually removed from Coca-Cola in 1929.

It is reported that Musk has led to a safety review by NASA for publicly smoking marijuana. According to Xinhua News Agency in 2018, in September 2018, Musk smoked marijuana in front of the camera while participating in a LIVE US webcast, causing widespread controversy and also causing concerns among nasa executives. NASA subsequently announced a safety culture review of two manned space business contractors, Space Exploration Technologies and Boeing.

Buffett holds 9.25% of the shares

Buffett, the stock god, is still the largest shareholder of Coca-Cola, if Musk really wants to launch the acquisition of Coca-Cola, whether Buffett supports it is still an unavoidable threshold.

It is reported that Buffett has been firmly holding the Coca-Cola Company since his purchase in 1988. By the end of 2021, Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway held 9.25% of Coca-Cola's shares, making it the company's largest institutional shareholder.
