However, Coca Cola might prove to be too expensive even for the world’s richest man. Coca Cola has a market cap of a remarkable $284 billion. Currently, it is still a mystery about where Elon Musk will find some $22 billion to fund his $44 bn Twitter buy. In fact, Musk buying Twitter has shaved over $100 bn from Tesla valuation- in a day. Bloomberg reported, "Tesla Inc. wiped roughly $126 billion off its valuation Tuesday as the stock fell 12% on investors’ concern that Elon Musk may sell shares to complete his $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc."
