“Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in”; Elon Musk tweet goes viral

Apr 28 2022

Following his gargantuan purchase of media platform Twitter at $44 billion, Elon Musk continues to make international headlines with yet another puzzling Tweet.

Earlier today, the Tesla and SpaceX boss took to Twitter to write “Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in”, leaving the world in a frenzy. Whilst nothing is off the table for the richest man in the world with a history of erratic behaviour, the Tweet is more likely to be a joke.

Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 28, 2022

Nevertheless, thousands upon thousands of Twitter replies joined in on the fun, with one user in particular writing “I don’t know about you but… I’m liking the new ownership already @elonmusk.” Users on the other side of the coin said that such a move is ‘Kanye West level crazy’, criticising claims of such a purchase.

Musk had previously stated that twitter has “tremendous potential”, which he pledged to unlock, also promising to relax content restrictions and terminate fake accounts for good.

Do you think Elon could actually buy Coca-Cola?

Scooter revolution: could Lime join Uber in Malta expansion?

Apr 28 2022

Earlier today, it was reported that global mobility giant Uber plans to launch in Malta, with the company attempting to obtain its license amid a Mediterranean expansion.

Uber is an international staple in the ride-hailing market, also offering a food delivery service in the form of Uber Eats and bike & scooter services via Lime. Lime is a San Francisco based mobility company which runs electric scooters, bikes, pedal bikes, mopeds and car sharing systems around the world.

Most popularly known for their electric scooters, Lime Bikes, one cannot help but wonder if the service will enter Malta immediately upon Uber’s launch or come in later.

Back in August 2018, Neutron Holdings, Inc., operating under business name Lime, struck a deal with Uber to provide electric bikes for Uber’s large scale expansion of Uber Bikes. In May 2020, Lime acquired the Jump e-bike and scooter business from Uber, together with $170 billion in funding.

Would you like Lime to come to Malta?
