Is Elon Musk The Next Willy Wonka?

Elon Musk, the Los Angeles technology mogul who is behind such companies as SpaceX (rockets), Tesla (cars, solar panels), and The Boring Company (tunneling machines and "flame throwers"), joked over the weekend that he is starting a candy company. The remarks, on Twitter, apparently are related to back and forth between Musk and Warren Buffett. It's unclear if Musk--known for his sometimes geeky humor--is serious about "starting a candy company". Musk's few last jokes--about selling hats to fund The Boring Company, and creating a flame thrower--all have become reality.

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