Twitterati asks Musk to buy Sri Lanka instead of Twitter for $43bn

Twitter users want Tesla CEO Elon Musk to acquire Sri Lanka instead of the microblogging site for $43 billion, as the country faces its worst economic crisis since its Independence.

Many users on the platform shared their views and asked the tech billionaire to bail out the debt-ridden country.

"Elon musk, if you wanna buy something buy Sri Lanka. Leave Twitter alone," a user wrote.

"@elonmusk, would you like to buy Sri Lanka for $43 Billion? We have the best graphite in the world for your @Tesla at Bogala too," another user wrote.

Recently, Musk announced that he had made an offer to buy Twitter. The billionaire is willing to pay $54.20 per share to buy 100 per cent of the company.

The all-cash offer will value the social network company at about $43 billion.
