Twitter is just a platform for hate and bullying?
Tesla boss Elon Musk (50) has now proven the opposite again: on Thursday night he made a fun tweet that has already gone down in Twitter history.
The gag immediately went through the roof, collecting more than 4.1 million likes until Friday night. The second highest number ever reached by a tweet!
And what made the online community laugh so much? Referring to his Twitter acquisition, Musk wrote around 3 a.m. EST: “Next I’m going to buy Coca-Cola to put cocaine back in.”

Below that he added because of the stimulating effect: “That kicks Red Bull’s ass!”
In fact, according to the US Institute on Drug Abuse, cocaine was in Coca-Cola for a few years in the late 1800s. In the USA, the shower is said to have been marketed as a panacea for headaches and melancholy. Coke was still perfectly legal!
In the past, however, the Brause group has repeatedly denied that today’s drug was contained in its soda.
Only one tweet ever garnered more likes
1st place (7.2 million likes): the official announcement of the death of actor Chadwick Boseman († 43) almost a year and a half ago. The main actor in the Marvel hit “Black Panther” died of colon cancer.

Obama quoted from the biography of freedom fighter Nelson Mandela: “No one is born to hate another person because of the color of their skin, their origin or their religion…”
At the time of the tweet, Donald Trump (75) was already US President. He had at times blamed “both sides” for the attack.

… there was one more from Musk
Incidentally, Musk added another joke on Thursday night at the expense of a mega-corporation. He posted a fake screenshot with an alleged tweet from himself.
It read: “Now I’m going to buy McDonald’s and fix all the ice cream machines.” The real Musk wrote: “Listen, I can’t work miracles.”
