Billionaire Elon Musk stunned the world when he announced that he is buying Twitter. The $44 billion acquisition was completed in October last year and since then, the billionaire has made numerous changes to the microblogging platform. The app has witnessed changes in its interface along and introduction of Twitter Blue, a paid verification service. He has also faced flak for firing dozens of employees and selling furniture from Twitter headquarters to cut costs. Many people have questioned Tesla CEO why he bought Twitter. This time, Mr Musk posted a funny reply to the question, saying he was "forced" to buy the company. He tweeted this in response to a meme, which shows Mr Musk laughing along with the text "They said I could never Twitter".
The meme was shared by Doge Designer, a page that shared memes on the billionaire. The caption of the post reads, "The mainstream media still can't believe that Elon bought Twitter @elonmusk."
Responding to the same, the "Chief Twit" said, "They forced me to buy it" along with a laughing emoji.
Since being shared, the billionaire's tweet has amassed a lot of attention.

"I wish you had bought it earlier," another person added.
A third person said, "Maybe they should now say you can't buy @ManUtd..."
"Makes me wonder if they knew what you would find once you owned it," said another person.
