Taking to Twitter, Elon announced that 20,000 bottles had been purchased, totaling $2 million in sales.
“With a name like mine, getting into the fragrance business was inevitable – why did I even fight it for so long!” the 51-year-old wrote before encouraging further sales. “Please buy my perfume, so I can buy Twitter.”
Elon entered a deal to buy Twitter in April, though the negotiations are still underway.
