Elon Musk jokes he’ll buy Coca-Cola to ‘put the cocaine back in’

Elon Musk said he was “buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in” as he joked about what he plans to do next following his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter

"Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in," Musk quipped in a late-night tweet Wednesday.

A Twitter user responded by sharing a photo of the first publicly-sold bottle from 1894 – a product that contained 3.5 grams of cocaine. "Bring it back," the user added

He re-tweeted a meme also saying he was going to buy McDonald's in order to fix all the ice cream machines. 

"Now I'm going to buy McDonald's and fix all of the ice cream machines…" "Listen, I can't do miracles ok," Musk quipped in response to the suggestion.

Popular financial account Fintwit replied to Musk's announcement on Coca-Cola by sharing a screenshot of the value of Coca-Cola's shares today, saying: "Elon, you're too poor to buy Coca-Cola."
