On the morning of April 28, 2022, Beijing time, Musk, the world's richest man, said on twitter that the next step will be to buy Coca-Cola and re-add cocaine. As soon as this remark came out, it instantly ignited major social media.
After all, Musk only reached a $44 billion acquisition deal with Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) a few days ago.
Twitter has announced that it will accept Musk's takeover offer. As the big boss of the future Twitter company, Musk is one step closer to the Twitter "free speech" he hopes to defend. At this time, he suddenly released himself on Twitter, and it is not difficult to understand.
An hour after the big talk, the netizens who "made a wish" under Musk's twitter have lined up. Someone "coaxed" Musk to buy McDonald's and fix the ice cream machine (Musk complained on Twitter: "Listen, I can't do a miracle, okay?). There are also netizens who ask Musk to buy Facebook and then delete the platform.
Judging from Musk's multiple statements, buying Coca-Cola is not like a serious business plan, but more like a "giant joke" that Musk made on Twitter.
Retaliatory speech? Typical Musk jokes?
Earlier in the day of the "wild talk," Musk received a federal judge's dismissal of his claim. Musk last month demanded an end to a 2018 settlement with the SEC in which Musk's Tweets related to Tesla were subject to review and pre-approval.
Musk argues that the review from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission violated his First Amendment rights, i.e., his right to free speech. The incident was caused by Musk's tweet in 2018 that he would take Tesla private and triggered turmoil in Tesla's stock price.
But the Manhattan magistrate said in his written opinion that Musk's claim that the regulator used the agreement to harass him was "unfounded."
Perhaps Musk's above -- "bold talk" about buying Coca-Cola is precisely out of dissatisfaction with regulators, and since the Securities and Exchange Commission wants to censor his Twitter statements, it is better to make a big fuss, after all, joking is not illegal.
What dilemma will "cocaine" Coca-Cola face once it is produced?
If Musk really "walks the talk," it will be the first time cocaine has "returned" to cola in nearly a century.
However, before that, Musk will also face legal difficulties. The use of cocaine or cocaine-containing substances in small amounts can indeed play a role in eliminating fatigue and improving mood (the specific dose is still not accurate data and the interval fluctuates greatly), and the greater side effect is that cocaine has a damaging effect on the digestive system, immune system, cardiovascular system and genitourinary system, especially as a dose-dependent hepatoxin, which can lead to hepatocyte necrosis.
Cocaine is currently tightly regulated in countries around the world, and in the United States, where drug controls are relatively loose, it is currently legally sold for medical purposes only.
Compared with Musk's curious vision and bold investment direction, the domestic rich circle has continued to increase in recent years
A more reliable anti-aging substance "β- niacinamide single nucleotide (the core component of Seilifu)", this substance supports the body's important coenzyme NAD+ production, both to enhance mood, but also to delay aging, the most important thing is that there are no side effects, it is recommended to add a little to cola, in addition to expensive, no problem! The aging intervention substances that Li Ka-shing had spent heavily on finally landed at a sky-high price of 1.5 million yuan per year, but obviously, only he and the rich people in the circle could afford to eat, which was short-lived in the market, but was quickly seized by the similar product "Sai Lifu". Nowadays, on platforms such as Beijing Dong, Sai Lifu is well received by ordinary people.
This human endogenous substance was discovered by a research team at Harvard University in 2013 and has been shown in various authoritative studies to be beneficial to the immune system, cardiovascular system, etc. In addition to the big names in the rich circle, there are also big names in the academic circle who also support their anti-aging concepts, including many major Nobel laureates.
Musk may still be too young, Musk himself has said that he has Asperger's syndrome, a manifestation of which is that it is difficult to understand the subtleties of normal society, there is no insight into the feelings of others, and unrestrained behavior makes them often offend or alienate others.
Buffett is still the largest shareholder of Coca-Cola, and if Musk really wants to launch an acquisition of Coca-Cola, whether Buffett supports it is still an inevitable threshold. Buying Coca-Cola this time is like a typical "Musk joke", after all, Coca-Cola's market value can be more than 280 billion US dollars, and Musk's net worth is only about 260 billion US dollars, even if he sold out Tesla, SpaceX and other companies, he still can't afford to buy.
However, some people have commented: Don't forget that Musk was interested in buying Twitter in 2017, and we have seen it now.
