Elon Musk May Be Starting A Candy Company & It’s Sure To Be Tesla Class

We’ve all heard about Elon Musk, a brilliant inventor, business mogul, and son to a fabulous mother. However, he’s making waves again, and this time it’s not thanks to SpaceX, but instead, because of candy. That’s right, a few days ago Elon sent out this (not so) cryptic tweet.

I’m starting a candy company & it’s going to be amazing

Lest anyone think it’s a joke, Musk then sent out this tweet to confirm that he really was serious.

I am super super serious

He even went as far as to throw out a name, while also expertly trolling fellow billionaire (and candy company owner) Warren Buffet.

Then I’m going to build a moat & fill it w candy. Warren B will not be able to resist investing! Berkshire Hathaway kryptonite …

According to CNN, the Willy Wonka-esque road Musk is wandering down is all thanks to Warren Buffet. The two sparred over conflicting business models, with Buffet—whose company Berkshire Hathaway owns Sees Candies—commenting that Musk wouldn’t “want to take us on in candy.” Either way, we can’t wait to see what the candy wars will offer.
