Elon Musk, the world's richest person, often moves stock markets with his tweets. At the same time, they generate a lot of debate and controversy.
Musk recently tweeted that he was buying English soccer club Manchester United. That was the reason why the club’s shares jumped by 17%. However, later the billionaire said that it was a “long-running joke” on Twitter. If Musk purchased Manchester United, he would pay about $2 billion according to the company's capitalization on the stock market.
In spring 2022, Musk again joked about buying Coca-Cola to put cocaine back into it. Moreover, the entrepreneur said that he planned to buy Twitter. It is still difficult to figure out if this information is true. In late August, Musk specified the condition of the deal. "If Twitter simply provides their method of sampling 100 accounts and how they're confirmed to be real, the deal should proceed on original terms," the billionaire noted.
