'Next I'm buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in,' Musk tweeted on Thursday.

The Tesla boss seems to be referring to the original Coca-Cola recipe from 1886 when it was used as a tonic for various ailments.

Can Musk buy Coca-Cola? Even for the world's richest man with a net-worth of $264 billion, Coca-Cola's price tag of $284 billion might be a challenge.

In comparison, Musk only had to pay a measly $44 billion for control of the social media giant in a deal that is yet to go through.

'Kicks Red Bull's ass!' replied Musk to a follower who posted a picture of the first publicly sold bottle of Coca-Cola in 1894 supposedly containing 3.5 grams of cocaine.

His followers seem to have taken the bait and started suggesting other thing the billionaire should buy and improve.

'Can you buy fox I want another season of "firefly"' asked Shibetoshi Nakamoto, the creator of cryptocurrency Dodgecoin.

'Some sci-fi that actually features sci-fi would be great' Musk replied to Nakamoto.
