It seems that Elon Musk, the famous billionaire known for his companies like X, Tesla, and SpaceX, has set his sights on expanding his business ventures even further. According to his father, Errol, the 53-year-old has expressed a desire to purchase the Premier League club Liverpool, despite already having a net worth of over $400 billion.
When asked about the reports, Errol responded, "I can't comment on that. They'll raise the price." When pressed further, he admitted that Elon has indeed mentioned his interest in buying the club, but clarified that it doesn't necessarily mean he will. "He would like to, yes, obviously. Anyone would want to - even I would!" Errol added.
It turns out that this potential purchase has a personal connection for the Musk family. "His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives there," Errol revealed. "We were even fortunate enough to know quite a few members of the Beatles, as they grew up with some of my family. So, we have a special attachment to Liverpool."
Currently, the American sports fund Fenway Sports Group, led by John Henry, owns Liverpool. They acquired the club back in 2010 for a reported £300 million. Under their ownership, the Reds have achieved great success, winning both the Premier League and the Champions League. According to Forbes, the club is now valued at over $5 billion.
In 2023, Fenway Sports Group sold a minority stake in the club to American investment firm Dynasty Equity. However, FSG's president, Mike Gordon, emphasized their long-term commitment to Liverpool. "If there is an investment partner that is right for Liverpool, then we would pursue the opportunity to help ensure the club's long-term financial resiliency and future growth," Gordon stated.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk has been making headlines for his recent comments on UK politics. He publicly called for the release of far-right agitator Tommy Robinson from prison and even suggested that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer should be jailed for his response to the grooming gangs scandal. In response, Starmer accused people, including Musk, of "spreading lies and misinformation far and wide" on social media.
It seems that Elon Musk's potential ownership of Liverpool has sparked interest and speculation not only in the business world but also in the world of sports and politics. Only time will tell if this desire will turn into a reality, but one thing is for sure - the Musk family has a strong connection to the city of Liverpool and its beloved football club.
