Are buying coke

Elon Musk tweeted on Wednesday that he would like to purchase Coca-Cola to 'put the cocaine back in' the drink. While Musk's comments about Coca-Cola were likely tongue-in-cheek, they bear some historical truth. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse , cocaine was legal in when John Pemberton , a pharmacist from Atlanta, first brewed the drink.

Representatives for The Coca-Cola Company did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider. Musk's tweet about Coca-Cola, which went viral, prompted a response from Rep.

Since Musk's acquisition of Twitter was announced, many of the platform's users have tweeted suggestions at him on what companies he should buy next. One Twitter user wrote that Musk should 'buy Fox' to get another season of the 'Firefly' TV series greenlit, to which Musk responded : 'Some sci-fi that actually features sci-fi would be great. Another Twitter user wrote : ' elonmusk should buy the History Channel and make it about history,' to which Musk replied with a laugh-crying emoji. Twitter has seen huge swings in its user numbers since the buyout, with politically left-leaning accounts losing thousands of followers and right-wing users gaining them in droves.
