Twitter User Asks Elon Musk to Buy WHO, Billionaire Evades With Priceless PJ
(CTN News) – Especially after his $43 billion bid to buy 100% of Twitter, Elon Musk has been in the headlines for quite some time. The world’s richest man is currently trying to take the microblogging site private as he believes it violates the principles of free speech. Fans of his are asking for bigger things this time, such as acquiring international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO).
Which ‘WHO’ should Elon Musk buy?
A Twitter user recently asked Elon Musk to buy WHO, claiming it is currently controlled by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. “Hey @elonmusk, can you also buy the WHO? It is currently owned by Bill Gates (sic).” asked the user. Elon Musk dodged the request by posting a YouTube link to the song ‘Pinball Wizard’ by rock band The Who with the caption, “I love Pinball Wizard! (sic)”.
Featuring four principal members, the English band ‘The Who’ saw its prime years starting from the mid-1960s and 70s. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have kept The Who alive by performing from time to time.
