馬斯克進軍社交媒體？推特股價飆升
After Twitter, did he set his sights on Coca-Cola again? Can he recreate Musk's "wealth creation" myth?
On the evening of April 27th local time, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, whose tender offer for the acquisition of Twitter was just accepted, tweeted again, "Next, I'm going to acquire The Coca-Cola Company and put cocaine back in." Coca-Cola once contained cocaine, but it was removed from the formula in the early 20th century. Recently, Coca-Cola, which just released its Q1 financial report, exceeded market expectations in terms of revenue and earnings per share. Several analysts have raised their average target price to $69.43, indicating the upside potential of Coca-Cola.
Let's take a look back at Musk's 'wealth-effect' event~
In addition to this "acquisition of Coca-Cola" tweet, Musk, who can be called the "MEME leader", recently announced the acquisition of Twitter, which triggered a surge in Twitter's stock price. In addition, his remarks and actions have repeatedly influenced the gains of different stocks. Let Futubull take you through a review of his previous "wealth creation" events—

What stocks are included in the 'Elon Musk concept' category?
Looking back, it's undeniable that Elon Musk has become one of the most influential figures in the financial world. As financial journalist Matt Levine once said: "...the way finance seems to work now is that the value of things is not based on their cash flows, but on their proximity to Elon Musk."
Based on this 'Musk Market Hypothesis,' the 'Musk Concept' category has emerged. Mooers can search for 'Musk' within the app to find relevant individual stocks associated with the 'Musk Concept,' and may add them to their watchlist anytime ~
Below are the top six stocks by trading volume in the 'Elon Musk Concept' category:
Attention attention!!
Although Musk's influence on social media has driven Twitter to skyrocket, mooers must be aware:
1. Twitter is not a stock with a high return on investment.
Data shows that over the past 2 years, Twitter's stock performance has been poor, with cumulative losses of nearly $1.5 billion. Of course, short-term return on investment is not a focus for savvy investors, and it's clear that Musk's focus is not on Twitter's economic value.
2. Musk has been a high-profile critic of Twitter's policies in the past.
This is a stark contrast. Previously, Musk had been a critic of Twitter, either expressing dissatisfaction with the personal behavior of senior executives, or questioning the algorithm rules and speech standards of the social media platform. However, now Musk holds a large amount of Twitter stock, and the true purpose behind this is still unclear.
Therefore, mooers need to be cautious about chasing the stock at a high level and beware of the risk of a significant Twitter correction in the future.
If you already hold Twitter stock and expect it to decline in the short term or not rise much, then using options tools can help you control the risk!
