Elon Musk’s father has confirmed that the billionaire Tesla owner has expressed an interest in buying Premier League team Liverpool. The Mail has the story.
Musk – worth an estimated $418 billion – has emerged as Donald Trump’s right-hand man over the last few months, reportedly donating around $270 million to the Republican party prior to its election victory to help his return to the White House. …
But it now appears Musk’s attention could be turning to English sport. Already the owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter), the 53 year-old is seemingly looking to expand his business empire with one of the most storied teams in the world.
“Has he expressed a desire to buy Liverpool Football Club?” a reporter asked Errol Musk on Times Radio in London.
“I can’t comment on that. They’ll raise the price,” the father of the richest man in the world said, while laughing.
When asked again, Musk conceded that his son has shown interest in purchasing Liverpool, still remaining coy on the matter, and refusing to declare any concrete negotiations.
“Oh, yes. But that doesn’t mean he’s buying it,” he replied. “He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to – so would I!”
When asked why Musk is specifically interested in Liverpool, his father revealed that his family have generational ties to the Merseyside city.
“His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we had relatives in Liverpool, and we were fortunate to know quite a lot of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family. So, we are attached to Liverpool, you know,” he told Times Radio.
Musk has previously described his grandmother, who was born in 1923 and died in 2011 aged 87, as “an important part” of his childhood, which included time spent on Merseyside as young child on holiday.
“My Nana was one of the poor working-class girls with no one to protect her who might have been abducted in present day Britain,” he said on X.
“She was very strict, but also kind and I could always count on her. She grew up very poor in England during the Great Depression only to be bombed in WW2,” he said.
“To earn money for food, she cleaned houses, leaving me with a lasting respect for those who do so.”
Elon Musk owning a Premier League team? That would shake things up a bit.

Well I suppose he’s used to spending vast amounts of money on frivolous things, having said which when he bought twitter he saved free speech for all of us.
And now he’s shifted the Overton window wrt paki rape gangs , all in all he’s a freakin super hero.
When all this Woke nonsense really started to bite, and the influence of the WEF etc, I wrote many times how we were no worse off than mankind prior to the Reformation. What we were missing was a Martin Luther figure, big enough and brave enough to open their mouth and challenge the things we cant challenge. I never imagined that it would be Musk. However, I hope he and Vivek are going to be very busy in a fortnight from now taking the chainsaw to the US bureaucracy, so we should temper our expectations.
So if Elon’s grandmother was a Brit. It would appear he has automatic rights to British citizenship.

Please can he change his mind and buy Arsenal instead…
You can’t help but admire Musk’s clarity of thought and vision. Buying Twitter was a stroke of genius. All of Musk’s tweets are now fed to everybody’s tweet feeds at the top of their list. His reach far exceeds buying 10 of the top newspapers. He cannot be censored and his message cannot be stopped. WOW what an achievement when most governments are desperately trying to control the narrative.
