Elon Musk is the closest thing we’ve to Tony Stark. The man’s a genius, maybe not a playboy, definitely a billionaire and a philanthropist. He’s recently been in the news for launching a midnight cherry Tesla Roadster into space. Additionally, he’s also building a giant robotic dragon.
However, while all that has been largely technology related, now Musk has taken interest in the food industry.
In a recent tweet, Elon Musk announced that he’s interested to build a candy company and also mentioned how serious he’s about it.
I’m starting a candy company & it’s going to be amazing
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 5, 2018
I am super super serious
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 5, 2018
Musk’s announcement is certainly ridiculous but it’s one that’ll be welcomed by everyone. I mean, come on, who doesn’t like eating candy?
Seeing everyone’s response to his sweet-toothed idea, Musk asked everyone about their preferences, while revealing what he wants in his candy as well.
Cryptocandy

If you’re smuggling large amounts of data from one country to another, Cryptocandy is just perfect. The only problem is that you might end up eating one, thereby destroying millions of dollars worth of info with every bite.
Twitter instantly got excited about Elon Musk’s prospect and started shooting a wide array of ideas at him.
1. The Roadster should be edible.

5. That’s oddly specific.

Although Elon Musk’s idea seems random as hell, reportedly it’s a sugar-coated jab at Warren Buffet’s comments on Musk’s inability to rival his candy business. However, since it’s an idea that’s been appreciated by a lot of people, Musk can gain some more fans by making this candy company a reality. It might take some years to build an actual flying suit but till then he can prance around as 21st century’s Willy Wonka.
